The Environment Ministry is promising to invest more than $3.6 million to improve infrastructure at Costa Rica’s national parks in 2021, the government announced Wednesday.
The single greatest commitment is 850 million colones (about $1.4 million) to improve tourist facilities at Tenorio Volcano National Park. That project is expected to begin in the second half of this year.
The remaining 1,400 million colones (about $2.3 million) will be distributed between projects at Marino Ballena National Park, Corcovado National Park, La Amistad National Park, Piedras Blancas National Park, and the Golfito National Wildlife Refuge.
Those works will be completed within 12 months of their groundbreaking dates later in 2021. Details of the projects were not made immediately available.
