Juan Castro Blanco National Park
Juan Castro Blanco National Park is one of Costa Rica's newest and least explored protected zones. Since its establishment in 1992, the reserve has received minimal attention and very few visitors. This has created ideal conditions for wildlife observers, fostering a haven for rare and endangered animals such as the puma and the resplendent quetzal.
