An approximately 18-m tower overlooking the Río Frío, La Capilla Lagoon and the larger Caño Negro or Llano Grande lagoon. On exceptionally clear days, several volcanoes may be visible. Platforms have capacity limits, so follow ranger instructions and do not crowd the upper levels.
Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Mixto Caño Negro
The principal public entrance to the refuge, with ranger facilities, parking, restrooms, information, elevated paths, a dock and access to the observation tower. Flooding or maintenance may affect individual facilities.
