Mt. Yglesias Named after a former president of Costa Rica, this 2,092-foot peak is the island's loftiest. The hike to it is long and arduous, winding through dense rainforest with entangling vines and shrubbery. But the view from the summit, where you can sign your John Hancock in a visitors' book, is magnificent, and on the way you can view the wreck of a B-24 that crashed in the jungle.  Mt.
