The Braulio Carrillo National Park is one of the most extensive national parks in Costa Rica. We use the word extensive because not only does this park cover an area of over 47,000 hectares, but it also encompasses seven diverse habitats, and the 80% of the diversity of plant and wildlife found in this region.
Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo (as it is officially known) protects many of the streams that flow through the Central Valley as they originate from here. With rugged high mountains, lush primeval forests, two extinct volcanoes, beautiful waterfalls, meandering rivers and a stunning cloud forest, this park is a nature lover’s delight. The highest point in the park is the Brava Volcano, which extends 2906 meters above sea level. The lowest point in the park is in the Caribbean lowlands of La Selva, at 36 meters above the sea level.

This year we met a side of society that everybody sees but tends to forget; out of fear or due to social class.  We visited this neighborhood known as a “precario”, due that people there have mainly a low level of studies, very low income.  They can’t adquire a home or get a loan to do so.  We decided to focus our eyes on this place that we ALL forget and abandon without caring for who they are or where they’re from; and brought them a morning of joy, providing food, toys, and basic househeld items.  The most important moment was when our souls became calm and held silence in a moment when a child delivered a smile in appreciation and thankfulness.  This aid was for those who could always use a hug or a warm greeting to let them know we’re here to help; without minding country of origin or race or any other political fence, proving that the people of Sabre Travel Network will be here for them.
