Barra Honda National Park Description
(Local Name: Parque Nacional Barra Honda) Barra Honda covers 2,295ha/5,669ac of land between the town of Nicoya and the mouth of the Tempisque River. The limestone area is famous for its underground cave system, the reason the national park was created. There are 42 caves in Barra Honda, only 19 of which have been explored. The combination of rainfall and erosion created the caves, some of which are over 200m/656ft in depth.

Tropical dry forest and deciduous vegetation are found above the caves. Barra Honda is a very hilly area, and there are many hiking trails. Trails to the summit of Barra Honda Hill provide excellent vistas of the Gulf of Nicoya and the Tempisque River.
