Hiking is still emerging as a sports attraction in Costa Rica, but the opportunities are limitless. There are wonderful trails in all the national parks and in natural areas. More and more trained guides are available to lead you safely through either rugged areas or for a less strenuous trek through mountains, coastal area or forests. We suggest going with a guide to ensure you safety and comfort. Longer, week longhiking and camping tours are available. Hiking is a wonderful way to see the country up close.
