- Sustainable Trail Management in Costa Rica National Parks: The use of photography for trail surfacing decisions under tropical rainforest conditions Juan A Aguirre G. Estudios de Turismo Photos Costa Rica rainy conditions trail surface selection Volcan Poas National Park (VPNP) is Costa Rica's most visited park. Its facilities, accessibility, and proximity to the major cities of the country make VPNP a preferred destination for local and foreigner visitors. Aside from its active volcanic cone, the park trails are a major asset. The extremely wet conditions prevailing throughout the year and heavy visitation made it essential to determine visitor's trail surface preferences to guarantee park trail sustainability. The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of using photos in combination with a regular survey to identify the sociodemographic characteristics and other trail related variables that affect trail surface selection to guide management decisions and resource allocation related to trail design, construction, and maintenance. The study was conducted during May, June and July of 2005. 2009 artículo científico 1695-7121 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=88111633003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=881 PASOS.
