Lake Bosque Alegre

Lake Bosque Alegre (The name of the lake in Spanish is Lake Happy Forest), is a freshwater crater lake located in the northern highlands of Costa Rica. This lake is part of a complex of lakes comprising 3 lakes that are part of the Bosque Alegre Wildlife Refuge. The three lakes include Lake Hule, Lake Congo and Lake Bosque Alegre. All of them are beautiful and attract many eco-tourists every year, so we’ll make sure to introduce all of them to this list.

Lake Bosque Alegre is one of the hidden jewels in the Sarapiqui region. To visit this lake, you might have to go on a hard journey, but the beauty of the lake’s view and nature will bring you peace of mind that is totally worth the trip. There is no secondary volcanic activity present, and there is a low possibility of volcanic gas fumes, so tourists are still coming here for the nature experience.

Being in the region, you can explore the rainforest for birds and wildlife. There are birding tours where you can see many local birds like toucans, parrots, and trogons,… and chocolate tours where you will be able to see how chocolate is grown and made here in Costa Rica. Both tours are unique, charming, informative and for that are loved by many tourists.
