Cute national park if you find it! Now they have one ranger so you need to pay 15$ to hike the two trails they have. One is for bird watching, the other go in the direction of a little lac and continue to las minas. It's an easy 2km to go to the lac and from there you can continue for 7km more 250m before reaching the lac to las minas. You'll need a machete and a guide if you want to do the latter cause the trail has not been maintained. Now regarding the lac, I would discourage you swim there since you have to cross a smelly swamp. I did it but wouldn't do it again... Apparently the park has only 1000 visitors a year and I suspect it's partly because it's not easy to find. Tip to find the entrance: search for Hostel Water National Park Juan Castro Blanco...

Un lugar único en su especie. Lleno de mitos y secretos. Esencial para muchas formas de vida, incluida la humana, la cual se nutre, se limpia y se recrea en las teansparentes aguas procedentes del parque. Refugio natural del jaguar y el puma; la pava, el tepezcunte, la tijerilla, el cabro, la guatuza, el mono colorado", el carilla" y el congo" los jilgueros y quetzales, los coyotes y las dantas y un sin número de especies que me quedan por nombrar. El mundo debe conocerlo! Debe ser manejado con manos de ceda" y causar el menor impacto por mayor beneficio" pisible. Crecí en sus montañas, las cuales no me dejan de sorprender; sus volcanes Porvenir, Congo, Platanar y el más hermoso y accesible' Volcan Viejo" (todavía no abierto al público) Río Aguas Zarcas, Laguna Verde, cataratas de Pueblo Nuevo, Río Barroso, más de la mitad de Río Toro", Río Guayabo, Caño Grande, Los Negritos.....montes, cascadas, cañones, aguas termales, aguas rápidas. Todo eso es Juan Castro Blanco "el parque nacional del agua" By the way" urge que pn J.C.B recupere la coneccion con pn Volcan Poas a través de contruccion y mejora de los corredores biológicos de Quebrada Gata, Río Desague, Rio Anonos, asi como Rio Segundo....

Parque Nacional Juan Carlos is tucked away in the hills of Costa Rica’s San Carlos Canton, but well worth the drive for a peaceful hike communing with nature.

A magical place, full of natural attractions, full of flora and fauna, waterfalls, volcanoes, viewpoints, trails, restaurants... 20 minutes from Ciudad Quesada Centro, if you need information and local guidance contact insta: @johanan_07 @tico_tour506 🇨🇷💧🔥🌱🌬️

The park is still under maintenance after the landslide of 2023 and the trail to get to the Pozo Azul is inaccessible. The remaining part tho, is still very nice and easily walkable, less tourists means enjoying more the nature.
