If you have an explorer's spirit and a desire to get to know the rainforest, you'll love this adventure. This hike offers plenty of action, tempered with time to explore the rainforest and the Corinto River.Our journey begins at the main building of our Atlantic park. We will be among the first ones to board the Tram, which will carry us to Tower 12. Along the way, you'll learn the proper way to safely explore real primary rainforest, and then you'll begin the hike down to the Corinto River. Dense primary forest surrounds you. Along the way there are small but difficult ascents, and at times a bit of mud adds to the adventure and challenge. The hike is demanding, but the rewards are fantastic.
The river is gorgeous. The crystalline waters gather high in the mountains before they course by you in the middle of an incredible forest. You can take a refreshing dip in one of the river's natural pools, surrounded by nature in its purest form. After a rest on the riverbank and a well-deserved picnic-style lunch, you'll hike back to Tower 12. This time you'll walk along the trail that separates the Rain Forest Aerial Tram's reserve from Braulio Carrillo National Park. By the time you start heading back, you will have a new understanding of the intricacy of the rainforest. Now that you have walked and lived this experience, the sweeping panoramic views become something even more rewarding: they become a window into the world's most complex community. With your guide, you'll bring together all of the day's experiences from this fascinating expedition.
Back at our main facilities, you can take a shower and rinse off all the mud, leaves and branches you might have collected during your hike.
