<p><b>Cerro Chirripó</b> is the highest mountain in <a href="Costa_Rica" title="Costa Rica">Costa Rica</a>, with an <a href="Elevation" title="Elevation">elevation</a> of 3,821 meters (12,536 feet). It is part of the <a href="Cordillera_de_Talamanca" title="Cordillera de Talamanca">Cordillera de Talamanca</a>, and the range's highest point. It is located in <a href="Chirrip%C3%B3_National_Park" title="Chirripó National Park">Chirripó National Park</a> and is noted for its ecological wealth. The mountain was named "Chirripo", meaning "land of eternal waters", by <a href="Indigenous_peoples_of_Costa_Rica" title="Indigenous peoples of Costa Rica">indigenous Costa Ricans</a> because there are many lakes and streams around the mountain.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The high peaks in Chirripó National Park and <a href="La_Amistad_International_Park" title="La Amistad International Park">La Amistad International Park</a> host important areas of <a href="Talamancan_montane_forests" title="Talamancan montane forests">Talamancan montane forest</a> and <a href="Costa_Rican_P%C3%A1ramo" class="mw-redirect" title="Costa Rican Páramo">Costa Rican Páramo</a> with high <a href="Endemic_(ecology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Endemic (ecology)">endemism</a> and extremely high <a href="Biodiversity" title="Biodiversity">biodiversity</a>. The peaks of these mountains constitute <a href="Sky_island" title="Sky island">sky islands</a> for many species of plants and animals. <a href="Snow" title="Snow">Snow</a> has not fallen on the peak in the past 100 years or so, according to the <a href="University_of_Costa_Rica" title="University of Costa Rica">University of Costa Rica</a>, but <a href="Hail" title="Hail">hail</a> is sometimes reported.

</p><p>The great height of Mount Chirripó relative to its surroundings is also evidenced by its particularly high <a href="Topographic_prominence" title="Topographic prominence">topographic prominence</a> of 3,727 m (12,228 ft),<sup id="cite_ref-PeakList_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PeakList-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which makes it the <a href="List_of_peaks_by_prominence" class="mw-redirect" title="List of peaks by prominence">37th most prominent peak</a> in the world. On clear days it is possible to see across the country from the <a href="Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> to the <a href="Caribbean_Sea" title="Caribbean Sea">Caribbean Sea</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-distance_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-distance-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Climbing Mount Chirripó is possible by obtaining a permit from the National Park office in <a href="San_Gerardo_de_Rivas" title="San Gerardo de Rivas">San Gerardo de Rivas</a>. From the trailhead, the summit can be reached via a 19.5-kilometer (12.1 mile) hike.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Chirripó is the <a href="List_of_peaks_by_prominence" class="mw-redirect" title="List of peaks by prominence">37th most prominent peak</a> in the world. The most abundant <a href="Ecosystem" title="Ecosystem">ecosystem</a> in the mountains is the <a href="Costa_Rican_p%C3%A1ramo" title="Costa Rican páramo">páramo</a>, extending across almost all the mountains. It also has a large number of lakes on the top, this is because during the <a href="Ice_age" title="Ice age">ice age</a> it was covered with snow, but when the ice melted these unique <a href="Glacial_lake" title="Glacial lake">glacial lakes</a> were formed.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3></div>

<p>Temperatures on Mount Chirripo during the day can range between 4 and 18 °C (39 and 64 °F), and at night they can drop from 1 and −3 °C (34 and 27 °F). The coldest temperature ever documented in Costa Rica was recorded here (−9 °C (16 °F)).

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The earliest known civilization to inhabit the area of Chirripó was the indigenous <a href="Cab%C3%A9car_people" title="Cabécar people">Cabécar</a> people. In 1904, <a href="Agust%C3%ADn_Blessing_Presinger" title="Agustín Blessing Presinger">Agustín Blessing Presinger</a> became the first known European to climb the peak.

</p><p>The first official hiking trail was constructed in 1965; it led to a small sheet-metal hut five kilometers away from the peak. Today, the hut has been replaced by a concrete building visited by 7,000 people each year. In 1975, Chirripó National Park was founded, enclosing and protecting 500 square kilometers of rain forest and mountains around the peak.<sup id="cite_ref-Mit_Press_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mit_Press-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Since 1953, there have been five major <a href="Wildfire" title="Wildfire">wildfires</a> in the area. Forest fires occurred in 1976,<sup id="cite_ref-First_Fire_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-First_Fire-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in the 1990s,<sup id="cite_ref-Second_Fire_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Second_Fire-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and in 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-Brigadistas_combaten_últimas_llamas_en_el_Chirripó_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brigadistas_combaten_últimas_llamas_en_el_Chirripó-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ecology">Ecology</h2></div>

<p>The biodiversity on Chirripó is diverse, in the lowest parts of the mountains, dominate the <a href="Cloud_forest" title="Cloud forest">cloud forest</a>, with <a href="Oak" title="Oak">oak</a> trees no higher than 50 meters, accompanied with <a href="Mosses" class="mw-redirect" title="Mosses">mosses</a>, <a href="Lichen" title="Lichen">lichen</a> and <a href="Orchids" class="mw-redirect" title="Orchids">orchids</a>. While in the upper parts of the mountain the <a href="Costa_Rican_p%C3%A1ramo" title="Costa Rican páramo">páramo</a> predominates, an ecosystem characterized by short and dry grass.

</p><p>Among the animals that inhabit the area, <a href="Squirrels" class="mw-redirect" title="Squirrels">squirrels</a>, <a href="Hummingbirds" class="mw-redirect" title="Hummingbirds">hummingbirds</a>, <a href="Rabbits" class="mw-redirect" title="Rabbits">rabbits</a>, <a href="Resplendent_quetzal" title="Resplendent quetzal">quetzals</a>, <a href="Frogs" class="mw-redirect" title="Frogs">frogs</a>, <a href="White-nosed_coati" title="White-nosed coati">white-nosed coati</a> and even <a href="Jaguars" class="mw-redirect" title="Jaguars">jaguars</a> habit the mountains.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Route">Route</h2></div>

<p>The hike starts 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) above sea level in the village of <a href="San_Gerardo_de_Rivas" title="San Gerardo de Rivas">San Gerardo</a> in the <a href="Talamanca_Range" class="mw-redirect" title="Talamanca Range">Talamanca Range</a>. From the valley, the path rises through fields and woodlands before ascending through <a href="Talamancan_montane_forests" title="Talamancan montane forests">lush rainforest</a>. The forest gradually turns into scrubland. The trail continuously ascends and descends through ridges and valleys until it reaches the final visitors' refuge at 3,392 meters. From the refuge, there is a remaining two hour hike. Once the last ridge is crossed, there is a remaining 200 meters of steep path. The summit is a 6-meter wide platform of rocks.<sup id="cite_ref-Mit_Press_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mit_Press-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
