Poco Sol Biological Station
By admin | February 25, 2008
The Poco Sol Biological Station is located at 720 meters above sea level on the Atlantic slope of the Cordillera de Tilarán, inside the Children’s Eternal Forest private preserve. To get to Poco Sol, take the San Ramón-Fortuna highway. At approximately 50 kilometers is the office of the Monteverde Conservation League in La Tigra de San Carlos; from there, follow the road to San Miguel de La Tigra (approximately 13 kilometers). Around the station there are some 10 kilometers of trails through primary and secondary forest and pastures in regeneration. The site features a variety of environments, including a 3.8-hectare lake, waterfall, fumaroles and hot springs.
As at the San Gerardo Station, the area’s forest is classified as premontane pluvial forest, and is always green. Though at a lower altitude and close to transition to a different type of forest, the Poco Sol Station is unique in terms of biodiversity and scenic beauty.
