The upper reaches of the park, often cold and
almost always cloaked in mist, contain the northernmost example
of the "paramo" life zone, which is typical of high-elevation
plains much farther south. The park also contains extensive areas
of lower montane and montane rain forest and offers excellent
opportunities for wildlife observation and nature photography.
Coyotes, jaguars, other felines, squirrels, rabbits, frogs, bird’s
owls and quetzals are the most common species found.
Chirripó is also one of the few areas suitable
for technical rock climbing.
