Laberinto de Katira
Parks & Wildlife · Arenal & La Fortuna · Round maze (solar-system design)
Owner Rafael Arguedas grew two big hedge mazes and a park of about 30 topiary animals 500 m north of Katira's center; climb the platforms for views. A favorite with Tico families on the way to Río Celeste.
