The original park is located in the small town of Zarcero. The place had gained its name in honor of the famous writer Francisco Alvarado. The garden has a rather large scale and a variety of complex sculptures. It’s hard to imagine that over the years the garden is looked after by only one man, the gardener Evangelista Blanco Brenes. The history of the park is very amazing. It was founded about 50 years ago.
