A National Park is a category of protected area, which enjoys a certain legal status, allows for the protection and conservation of the bio-diversity found within it. This area must include representative samples of ecosystems of national significance, show little evidence of human activity, offer important attractions for visitors, and have the capacity for educational and recreational use in a controlled manner.
Since 1986, by Executive Decree N°1647 MAG-MEP, August 24 is celebrated as National Parks Day in Costa Rica, with the purpose of encouraging people to reflect and actively participate in conservation actions and respect for the environment.
