Itinerary

Day 1: Crossing the river and climbing the mountain through the jungle to get to the cabin.

Go on a true Costa Rica inland adventure with an extreme hike through the mountains and forest that la between La Fortuna and Monteverde with an overnight in a back to basic forest cabin located in a hidden valley. Intens and pure experience far away from the civiliced world in the most stunning untouched nature Costa Rica has to offer.

Mountain cabin, no electricity, a woodstove, candles and an outdoor fresh mountain water shower bring you back in time.

Dinner: Traditional Costa Rican meal cooked over firewood on an old style stove. Your are welcome to participate.

Day 2: Getting ready and back on the road to hike our way to Monteverde.

After our typical breakfast and a refreshing mountain water shower we pack our things for the second leg of the hike. Climbing our way out of the valley we get back to the main trail. As we continue the trail changes into a somewhat wider country road. Where on the first day we were immersed in the forest we are now enjoying idyllic Costa Rican farmland and its breathtaking panoramic views. Further up, we see dense forest that, due to the conquered altitude difference, has the characteristics of the typical cloud forest that Monteverde is famous for. We walk till we get to Santa Elena town where your main luggage will be waiting for you.

Breakfast: Gallo pinto (baked rice and beans) with fresh eggs accompanied by great coffee. All made freshly on the classic stove.
