Braulio Carrillo National Park

Tags cloud forests, rainforests, volcanoes, waterfalls, national parks and reserves, aerial trams

Dense rainforest, tumbling waterfalls, towering volcanoes and rushing rivers fill the landscape of Costa Rica's second-largest national park, a green paradise just 30 minutes from busy San Jose. Braulio Carrillo's diversity of life is owed to its varying geography -- from humid, lowland jungles just 160 feet above sea level to chilly cloud forest at an altitude of 9,535 feet.
