Campana
The park’s only developed trail, Sendero La Cruz, runs through several types of terrain, including humid tropical and premontane forests. Remnants from the El Valle de Anton volcano – which erupted some 200,000 years ago – can still be seen in the lava fields and igneous rocks that scatter the park.
Birders are fond of Altos de Campana, as the park is home to species that are threatened in other parts of Central America, including the violet-bellied hummingbird, white-tipped sicklebill, and the bronze-tailed plumeleteer. Other bird species include orange-bellied trogons, rufous motmots, collared aracaris, and the chestnut-capped brush-finch. In total, some 267 species of birds live in or migrate through Altos de Campana.
