Exploring Costa Rica- FAQs - Costa Rica Travel & Tours - Can I smoke in the National Parks?

The park and reserve regulations are very strict regarding smoking and fires due to the forest fires that natural areas experience in some areas a few years ago.

For this reason you will only be able to smoke at the permitted sites in the Crestones Base Lodge, Lodge in Sirena Station and destination points, never on the trails. Fires are totally forbidden in the National Parks.
