This is the best place for hikers, bird watchers (bird watchers say it's better than Monteverde), and nature lovers in general. You can not only hike the highest mountain in Costa Rica, there are other beautiful hiking trails around, which are not so difficult.
You can swim in the pristine Chirripo river, enjoy beautiful waterfalls with picnic area, there is also local trout farm where you can catch your own fish and the owners will cook it for you.
We also offer horseback tours.
