Surrounding the park and its impressive headpiece Catedral San Carlos Borromeo are several local eateries serving traditional fare. Don’t miss trying the locally produced cheeses and creams. Nearby Juan Castro Blanco National Park is renowned for its prolific bird species, wildlife, and mineral rich thermal springs. Three volcanoes are situated within the park’s 35,000-acre boundaries. An extensive trail system makes it possible to witness its diverse ecosystems as well as several archaeological sites. The La Marina Wildlife Rescue Center harbors and rehabilitates injured birds and animals. Visitors can view the center’s wild inhabitants and learn about efforts to help protect Costa Rica’s fauna through education, breeding, and social outreach.
