The Jorge Manuel Dengo Miravalles National Park is located in the province of Guanacaste and is the 29th in the country. The area protects species that are endangered in the country, especially felines, jaguars and tapirs. In addition, it protects a significant source of water for the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the country. It was declared as a national park based on its biophysical characteristics, natural resources, and its potential for environmental research and education.
Likewise, this decision will provide a significant boost to sustainable development in the province of Guanacaste, as well as for commercial activities that are linked to caring for the environment.
