Barva Volcano |
The top of the Barva volcano is 9500 feet above sea level. Barva is dormant. However, you can see thirteen eruptive cones. Some are filled with lakes. The area has a beautiful 185 square mile park which serves as a watershed for San Jose, the capital. The park has some of the roughest terrain in the country.The rainforest cover has hard rains that dump a large amount of water in a short period of time. A great variety of wildlife live here. There are 135 species of mammals and 500 species of birds. The hiking around the summit of the volcano is well worth the effort.
Another interesting fact is that our offices of Costa Rican Resource are located on the slopes of the Barva Volcano near the town of Barva, Heredia. We hope you would stop by and visit us as we would love to introduce you to the staff that might have planned your Costa Rica family adventure tour.
