El Camino de Costa Rica Hiking Guide

Experience El Camino de Costa Rica, a new hiking trail that spans more than 250 kilometers / 150 miles and connects the Atlantic and the Pacific across Costa Rica. Explore cloud forests, hike mountain ridges, meet indigenous peoples, and stroll through remote villages. Taste coffee and chocolate produced from crops on the nearby slopes. Encounter wildlife, waterfalls, and diverse wilderness. Stay in homes with families, camp, or relax in luxurious hotels. Visit three National Parks, two beaches, an animal sanctuary, and other protected natural areas on or adjacent to the trail. The adventure is yours to design with The El Camino de Costa Rica Hiking Guide: the first and only resource of its kind for this cross-country journey. It features maps, directions, site descriptions, resource contact information, and photographs that show locations along the way. The instructions begin and end at the international airport near the capital city of San Jos, which empowers hikers to start on either coast and complete the entire trail. The route is organized into 16 sections, but the guide includes recommendations for section combinations to accommodate individual schedules. Commonly completed in two weeks, El Camino de Costa Rica is the perfect challenge for the weekend hiker ready for longer distances, and a fantastic addition to the resume of those with more experience.
