What the experts agree on
Costa Rica's highest peak offers an epic 30-mile summit hike through unique páramo grasslands and rocky highlands, rewarding serious hikers with rare alpine wildlife and dramatic mountain landscapes.
“The main attraction of this national park is Mt. Chirripó, the highest mountain in Costa Rica and a mecca for both hikers and serious summiteers. It's a 48-km (30-mile) round-trip hike.”

"Above 3400m, the landscape is páramo, which is mostly scrubby trees and grasslands, and supports a unique spectrum of highland wildlife. Rocky outposts punctuate the otherwise barren hills"
