Cataratas Cerro Redondo Wildlife Refuge Costa Rica was created on August 12th, 1997, to protect tropical forested areas and part of the moors in the high elevations of the Talamanca Mountain region.
Because of its location in the Talamanca Mountain region, its biodiversity is very similar to the one you can find in Los Quetzales National Park (Former Los Santos Forest Reserve). It has tropical wet forest in transition to montane, rainy montane and lower rainy montane, with a very abundant flora and fauna, where oaks and cypress are very common, making bird watching the greatest attraction.
Other nearby national Parks include the Cerro Las Vueltas Biological Reserve, Los Quetzales National Park (Former Los Santos Forest Reserve), Paramo Wildlife Refuge and Manuel Antonio National Park. There are no public park facilities at this wildlife refuge.
