The peace tree located two hours from Arenal in the north of Costa is one of the country´s biggest trees. It was officially declared the peace tree in 2001 by the local community. A plaque commemorating the day can be seen in front of the tree. Experts claim the tree to be older than 200 years. It´s size makes it stand out over all of the other trees in the rainforest. For those interested in seeing this tree it is easiest to go to the Rio Celestre National Park. It is located about 10 minutes before the park´s entence.
