La Amistad International Park

At 479.000 acres, this is by far the country's largest park , but it is probably also the least accessible. The park covers a large part of the Talamanca Mountain Range , and the name Amistad "Friendship" , refers to the fact that it is contiguous with the sister park on the Panamanian part of the Talamancas. Most of the park covers steep, lush terrain and most of it has never been explored, but the virgin forest within it contain a wealth of plant and animal species. The park is most easily visited in the Las Tablas Area, near San Vito de Coto Brus.
