Tenorio Volcano National Park Located in the Guanacaste Mountain Range, and situated at the confluence of climatic influences from both coasts, Tenorio Volcano National Park is extremely rich in natural diversity. You could find climatic conditions ranging from tropically humid to very humid areas. From high above the volcano, there is an impressive view of the plains of Guatuso and San Carlos.
Boiling springs come bubbling up from the ground.
Temperatures around these springs can reach a scorching 94 degrees Celsius. This is the park you see when driving from San Jose to Limon. In fact, it was the construction of the road in 1978 that led to the creation of the park. Conservationists felt the road would enable loggers and developers to move in. Illegal logging is a major problem here, along with poaching, but without the protection of the National Park Service, the situation would be far worse.
