Most of Costa Rica's Parks and Reserves are best explored by hiking the vast network of trails that guide
visitors thru a variety of forest types and ecosystems. Coastal trails
dip thru wetlands and along the coast like in Corcovado National Park and Cahuita National Park. Mountainous trails in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Chirripó National Park
ascend to sweeping lookouts, some above the tree line. Many parks are
home to primary forests where the size of the trees will humble you.
So bring along comfortable, light-weight hiking shoes, your binoculars
and a camera, and get moving. There is lots to see while traveling on
foot in Costa Rica.
Note: If you really want
to see a lot of wildlife while on the trail, hire a naturalist guide or
join a tour. You will walk by most animals if you do not have trained
hawk-eyes like the Tico guides have.
