Barra Honda National Park was created in 1974, and it has a total area of 2295 hectares. It is located in Guanacaste province, 22 kms northeast of Nicoya. The park is formed by Barra Honda Hill (some 300 meters high) and other surrounding hills. Barra Honda is in fact the most important system of caves discovered so far in the country. The Barra Honda Hill is formed mainly by limestones from ancient coral reefs, that emerged to the surface due to the movement of the tectonic plates some 60 million years ago.
