Hitoy-Cerere derives its name from two words in a local indigenous language, hitoy means "wooly", in reference to the green blanket that covers everything and cerere means, "water", because of the abundance of rivers and streams. |
| This park hasn't been studied in depth and its not often visited, because of its precipitous terrain and wet climate but these two factors have produced a biological diversity that may prove to be one of the richest in Costa Rica. The temperature is consistently warm with daytime temperatures averaging around 25 degrees C and rain is possible any time of the year. | ![]() |

The reserve is surrounded on three sides by indigenous people's reserves, the Telire to the west, Talamanca to the South and Tayni to the north. To the east and in the lowlands are the massive banana plantations of the Estrella valley and it is through this area that the reserve is accessible. |
