Trails around the site lead to interesting artifacts of the various battles in the area. It is located in the far north-western region of Costa Rica. Witch's Rock is the iconic land mark situated approximately 500 meters off the shore of this isolated National Park.
Playa Nancite is one of the world's largest nesting grounds for Olive Ridley sea turtles, along with Ostional Beach to the south. Hundreds of thousands of turtles arrive to lay their eggs primarily from July through November. The Islas Station is located on a small string of islands known as the Murcielagos (Bat Islands). These islands provide a home for many marine species, and are popular for scuba diving. - Category: National Parks
