Chirripó National Park
Chirripó is a demanding mountain park built around Costa Rica’s highest summit, high-elevation páramo and wide natural overlooks. It calls for advance planning and serious hiking time.
Why go
The attraction is the transition from wetter mountain forest to exposed páramo near Cerro Chirripó. Reaching the summit is a substantial climb, so the payoff lies as much in the changing landscape and viewpoints as in standing at the top.
What to look for
Cerro Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest mountain
Páramo vegetation at high elevation
Panoramic natural overlooks along the mountain route
Useful to know
Arrange the required park reservation before travel and verify current entry procedures.
Plan for a long, steep hike and colder conditions at higher elevations.
