La Cangreja National Park, until 2002 the Cerro de la Cangreja Protected Zone, is a National Park in the Central Pacific Conservation Area located near the Pacific coast of Costa Rica that protects tropical forest in the Puriscal Canton region of the Cordillera de Talamanca.
Park-related websites dedicated to tourism, such as those advertising shelters, promote visits from tourists and foreigners. However, many of these places do not take tourists to visit the park; individuals "use" the name of the park to attract tourism for their own economic benefit, rather than the park's.
