Hike through a recovered forest to find an amazing waterfall
We’ll go to the cloud forest in the mountains of Heredia on a LEVEL 4** hike that features two beautiful waterfalls and amazing landscapes.
We’ll meet in Heredia city center and drive to a Protected Area where we’ll trek through a recovered cloud-forest with exuberant vegetation and some fauna. We’ll visit two waterfalls and if you’re up for it, swim in the pure, cold mountain water!
After exploring the upper layers of the forest from atop a lookout point, we’ll head back to town to enjoy a "casado" in a typical lunch (included).
PLEASE READ ATTENTIVELY:
** Level 4 hike means "INTERMEDIATE HIKE WITH GOOD INCLINES, SOME STAMINA IS REQUIRED!! YOU NEED TO STAY HYDRATED. GOOD FOR SOME KIDS AND TEENS. NOT FOR BEGINNERS ".
+ 4 Km trek with a 160 meters altitude gain (2.5 miles hike in 525 feet incline).
+ Do not sign up if you have important knee problems, you are not moderately in shape or you never take walks since these situations create stress and slow the trek for others.
