Provincia Heredia's Natural Wonders and Essential Sights

Provincia Heredia encompasses diverse ecosystems ranging from the volcanic peaks of the Central Mountain Range to the lowland rainforests of Sarapiquí. The region features the dormant Barva Volcano with its crater lagoons and the expansive Braulio Carrillo National Park, which protects primary cloud forests.
