The Hiking
The hiking here in Costa Rica is considered to be advanced. We recommend our backpacking trips for serious hikers who are not afraid of stormy weather and have the proper gear to handle a wet and cold climate.
The Camping
In most cases you will need to have an ultra-lite waterproof tent for your stay. A sleeping pad and proper insulated 20 degree bag is recommended in most cases. Gortex rain jacket and hiking shoes are a must have.
