We begin the morning tour at 5:45 a.m., the perfect time to witness the forest awakening to a chorus of melodious birdsong. Alternatively, you may join our afternoon tour at 14:30 p.m. to explore the trails at a different pace. At the end of your walk, enjoy a typical Costa Rican breakfast accompanied by coffee or orange juice, or a snack depending on the time of the tour.
