Michael Ireland3 months agoThe drive up has some very tight roads that were made less treacherous with 4x4 and high clearance. A sedan is doable, but I wouldn't do it. The parking can be really tight, so I recommend using the first overflow that you encounter. The hikes are well-marked, and just a little challenging for people who aren't in great shape. If you're hale & hearty, it's a piece of cake. Wear good hiking shoes with ankle support. Anything less is doable but hazardous. Bring plenty of water, and a few light snacks. We encountered a few biting insects; nothing crazy, but some repellent is recommended. Sunscreen is a good idea, although the canopy prevents the worst sun exposure. You cannot swim here. The main entrance has potable water and a decent bathroom. The hike to the cloud bridge is about 2 hours unless you're not gawking at all.
Elizabeth Lake5 months agoGreat place to visit during a Costa Rica road trip. The climate is cooler, the forest full of moss, and the fauna is mainly birds. We were lucky enough to spot a female quetzal here. There is a beautiful waterfall not far from the main entrance.
Denise Tarter8 months agoThe road up to the nature reserve was really rough, and it definitely needs a 4x4, but once we got there, it was worth it. On a Saturday morning, there were only a few other hikers, and we mostly had the place to ourselves. Anthony at the visitor center was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us plan our route. Grab one of the walking sticks by the visitor center. They're helpful on the steep, slippery parts of the trails. The small loop close to the visitor center was my favorite part, and it was good for kids. The trails are clearly marked and well maintained. This is a hidden gem, and I'm sure we'll be back.Related categories
