"NOTE FROM SINALEVI:
By means of Article 1 of Executive Decree (Decreto Ejecutivo) No. 31591 of November 18, 2003, the boundaries of Palo Verde National Park are redefined, as follows:
According to the 1:50,000 scale base maps of the National Geographic Institute (IGN), Cartographic Sheets Cañas, Tempisque, Talolinga, Abangares. Starting from a point located on the left bank of the Bebedero River channel, coordinates N 257420 and E 403780, the boundary continues along a public road through the following coordinate vertices:
