La Leona Waterfall Adventure Hike

Nature preserve

👍👍 Great experience. The views on the hike start great. Once you get to the actual waterfall it truly is a hidden gem. Our guide Jacky was excellent, safety, information, and help. He was there for us the entire way. The trail is a bit tricky and you have to watch you step. But try to take a co...

👍👍 Really enjoyed our morning hike and night tour of this property! We got to see a lot of wildlife here as well as the very diverse landscape.

Spring Paradise Bijagua..Your Natural Experience!

We were guided round by the lovely Fatimer, who had eyes like a hawk and pointed out so many animals, we saw so many sloths, frogs, woodpeckers and much more and the most amazing thing was seeing a tapir, we were...

Tapir Valley Nature Reserve

Tourist attraction

👍👍 This is by far the best wildlife experience we have ever had. We booked a night tour and the 6am bird tour for the following morning. Being June it was raining when we arrived. Donald was our night guide. His enthusiasm and passion for all the fauna on his property makes this trip memorable. We...

Karen Mogensen Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 UPDATE Jan 2021: Came back to this spot two years later, it was just as beautiful as ever. Still hard to figure out where exactly you park your car, you will pass a few dry riverbeds in your four-wheel drive before you get there, so keep going until you see a little house with a Coca-Cola sign on it...

Mirador el Silencio

Nature preserve

👍👍 Amazing! So cheap ($7) so we did this instead of the national park. There was no one else there. Great trek through the jungle, incredible views of volcano, Arenal lake and green lake, as well as 1968 lava.

Children's Eternal Rain Forest Bajo del Tigre

Nature preserve

👍👍 Went on a solo hike in the evening. The "bonk" birds kept following me throughout the whole park. I didn't realize the significance of how special they are until I met my bird guide a day later. I was lucky enough to take a phone photo (no binoculars!). It's mostly forested, so no views except if yo...

Cerro La Cruz Protected Zone

Nature preserve

👍👍 My favourite thing to do in Nicoya! So peaceful and serene. I walked from the Super Compro, past the stadium, into the forest, got to a ranch in the middle of nowhere, and then turned around. Total trip time was 3 hours. The weather was cool in the morning with a nice breeze and there were about eig...

Lomas de Barbudal Biological Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Little known park and a jewel. Worth the long drive in on a rocky road. Should definitely go with a 4x4. There is a small concrete bridge that one needs to focus while crossing but everything is safe. The hike is mostly one route through the dry tropical forest to the waterfalls. Lots of howler mon...

Finca Ecologica San Luis

👍👍 Amazing to visit for birding. The gardens around are well maintained to attract as many birds as possible. There is also some trails for a light hike. The owner and its family were very welcoming and took great care of us.
