Hiking Highlights in Costa Rica
With so many national parks, you can rest assured that there are hikes on Costa Rica for any age and ability, be you a solo traveller or a travelling family.
At the Monteverde Cloud Forest, you can rise high into the canopy as you traverse suspended bridges and stand in awe of the tallest trees in Costa Rica. Ethereal clouds surround the treetops while the forest teems with life.
If you’re here for the volcanoes then look no further than Arenal, the most iconic peak in Costa Rica. The two-tour hike isn’t for the inexperienced or unfit, but it’s worth the spent energy as you climb high above the surrounding landscapes, following lava flows and well-worn hiking paths.
For rainforest and waterfalls then head to Corcovado National Park, one of the most accessible national parks in Costa Rica. It’s perfect for hiking, with endless trails crisscrossing the sublime landscapes. Get sweaty in the tropical humidity before cooling off in a crashing, cold and refreshing waterfall.
If it’s a challenge you’re looking for, then head to Chirripo National Park where you can gaze in awe at the tallest peak in Costa Rica. Standing at over 3,800 metres in height, this is a mountain that’s not for the faint of heart. It’s no easy hike but it’s an incredible, if tough, experience. From the top, you can even see both the Pacific and the Caribbean coastline of Costa Rica.
