Zurqui Tunnel

Posted on March 11, 2025November 25, 2024 by Ultimate Guide

About: This is a famous landmark in Costa Rica and is seen when driving East on Route 32 from the city to Limon Province. It is a tunnel of about 600 meters through the mountains of Braulio Carrillo National Park. It is the only tunnel in the country. There is a place to pull off the road right before entering the tunnel, though there isn’t anything to do there.

Province: Heredia

Starting from: Downtown Heredia

Time to reach from starting location: 34 minutes

Time needed for activity: as much as you want

Kid friendly: Yes

Wheelchair accessible: Yes

What to wear and bring: Camera

Tips: For a fun game while driving through the tunnel, you can try holding your breath the entirety of its length, though I wouldn’t recommend doing this if you’re the driver. Best to focus on the road and breathe as normal.
