Braulio Carillo National Park in Costa Rica exists within a volcanic conservation area. The Park was built in order to limit the developments in the area after the construction of the Limon Highway, a road of industrial importance.
The Park hosts the Barva Volcano, several other dormant volcanoes, various rivers and crater lakes. More than 90 per cent of the Park is covered with forests. The vegetation in the Park varies according to the altitude; there are cloud forests in high altitudes and tropical rainforests in lowlands.
Braulio Carillo has one of the highest levels of biodiversity in Costa Rica. More than 600 species of trees, 530 species of birds and 135 species of mammals thrive here.
