Bocaraca, Steel roller coaster in Parque Diversiones, La Uruca, San José, Costa Rica.

Bocaraca is a Vekoma Whirlwind steel roller coaster at Parque de Diversiones Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes in San José. Its layout has a 64-foot (20 m) lift hill, a 1,184-foot (361 m) track, and two separate corkscrew elements divided by a turn.

The ride opened in 1984 as Whirlwind at Playland, which the sources place in the United States, not Pennsylvania; it ran there until 1992. In 1993 it reopened at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, replacing the Jet Star, and operated until the end of the 2004 season, when space constraints forced its removal. It was then moved to Parque de Diversiones Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes in San José, Costa Rica, reopening as Bocaraca in 2005.

The name Bocaraca comes from Costa Rican slang for the eyelash pit viper, a snake whose coiled shape riders associate with the ride's two corkscrews. The coaster kept the name Whirlwind through its years at Playland and Knoebels before being renamed for its Costa Rican setting.

Riders must meet a minimum height requirement of 48 inches (122 cm) to board the attraction. The tight turns and inversions generate strong forces, so it helps to understand the restraint system before the ride starts.

While at Knoebels and Playland, this was the only Vekoma corkscrew coaster in the United States with two separate corkscrew elements rather than a single double corkscrew. The same track, 1,184 feet (361 m) long, now runs in San José.
