La Muralla Private Reserve hiking tour Back

This is an extension of Las Pilas tour, with the big difference that instead of looking at the park from above, we will descend all the way down to the limits with our property and the Braulio Carrillo National Park , this is only for people in very good physical condition, because we are going to descend for a single track trail , all the way down to 1500 meters above sea level , until we reach an altitude of 1300 m. , and then at the end of the journey, we will return.

Once we are down at La Muralla, or the Big Wall, there is no one else around, so the entire forest is there for us to enjoy without any interference. The transition between the rain and cloud forest can be appreciated because of the difference in vegetation, animal life, and climate. Down at La Muralla, it is warmer and more humid that at the Lodge.

We will provide you with a box lunch, which can be taken at the spot we have prepared for you. During lunch time, Cappuccino Monkeys might show up to the pick nick table, so you have to watch for them, please do not feed them.

Several trails can be taken with our local guide, but we highly recommend one, EL PALMITAL, this trail is named after a plant called PALMITO, or Heart of Palm. The original, mountain gray heart of palm, is a delicatessen, well known in very unique restaurants, but illegal to buy in Costa Rica, because this plant takes to recover more than 25 years. We do have some giant PALMITOS here for you to observe, and other plants, mammals and birds, we are sure you will love.
This is a one day tour, we call it our jewel, because water springs and cascades are all over the place, and we like to keep it as it is, suitable only for people who appreciate to be in close contact with Mother Nature...
