Rural Village Hike, Waterfall and Cultural Lunch

5 hours
Min age: 10
Manuel Antonio mountains
Pickup included

Head out of Manuel Antonio to a remote village just 25 minutes into the mountains. This stunning 5km hike begins with a steady 1.5km climb on an old country road and boasts incredible views of the Manuel Antonio Pacific coastline. Once making it to the top, we descend into private property on a single-track trail surrounded by primary rainforest. Enjoy solitude on this very off the beaten path trail. Keep your eyes and ears open for toucans, agoutis, coatimundis, and more. Hike all the way to the Naranjo River and enjoy a dip in the waterfall to cool off. After the river, we visit our friend Doña Luz for an authentic interactive cooking experience in her cozy home. Learn to make tortillas and get to know Luz and her family. Note: The initial climb can be strenuous in the heat so please be prepared. Suggested for children aged 10 and upwards.
