history

The Reserva Cintifieca Valle Nuevo nature reserve had existed in the area since 1983. Overuse has led to erosion and landslides in the area. Nevertheless, the extended area was upgraded to a national park and has since been named after the Honduran conservationist and geographer Juan Bautista Pérez Rancier.
