Juan Castro Blanco National Park

Recently declared in 1992, this park is designed to protect the cloud forest habitat and important watershed atop the westernmost peaks of the Central Volcanic Cordillera. Although there have been no eruptions recorded during recent history, the volcanic origins of this massif are underscored by the numerous hot springs that emerge from its northern flank. The highest points on the summit are: Porvenir Volcano (2,267 m.), Platanar Volcano (2,183 m.), and Viejo Volcano (2,060 m.).

Unfortunately, the government has yet to finance the purchase of the private property affected by the declaration of this park, and so to date there are no facilities for visitors.
