Hitoy Cerere Biological Reserve

In the higher elevations of the Hitoy Cerere Biological Reserve, you'll find verdant evergreen highlands dappled with morning dew while in the lowland rainforest the last droplets of rainfall to the forest floor hours after the last drizzle. But it's never too long in-between showers; the reserve receives as much as 236 inches of rain per year making it one of Costa Rica's most lush and vibrant reserves. In fact, "Hitoy Cerere" is a Bribri name meaning "wooly clear water" alluding to the idea that it never stops raining for long in this 23,000-acre reserve.
