The major attraction of Costa Rica is Parque Francisco Alvarado that can be called a real masterpiece of the landscape design. In this park, visitors will have an opportunity to see incredibly beautiful and amazing mazes of living plants, as well as living sculptures covered with moss. They represent the most unusual decoration of the park. Some sculptures are partly made of stone and complemented with plants. A special moss that allows creating a simulation of living sculptures is cultivated on the rocks.
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.
