Talamanca and La Amistad Reserves

Talamanca Range and La Amistad, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Costa Rica and Panama, recognized in 1983 with an extension in 1990, is a vast tropical wilderness spanning the Talamanca Mountains, protected as a transboundary park since 1982. Featuring cloud forests, peaks like Cerro Chirripó, and rich biodiversity with jaguars and quetzals, it reflects Central America’s ecological diversity. This cross-border site showcases a shared natural heritage, preserving one of the region’s last intact highland ecosystems.
