This 2 day hike was definitely a lot more challenging than I thought. BE READY. The lodge is pretty overpriced for what it is- a prison like hostel of sorts with no hot water and the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on in my life. The water is FREEZING so I am glad my group brought baby wipes... More

If this is the only chance you will get to do this amazing hike consider which route you want to take. The traditional route begins in San Gerardo de Rivas and takes you through a steep 14.5 kilometer hike.

Beautiful hiking in this area, off the tourist path, and just incredible. LOVED it and so glad we ventured inland.

There are so many great things about the Chirripó, the views, the landscape, the diversity of flora and the fauna throught the whole journey.

Chirripó is the higest peak in Costa Rica, which isn´t saying much compared to Perú, but the park is very well maintained and the trail takes you through a relatively easy hike through various lanscapes and ecosystems. There was a large forest fire a few years back, so some areas are still in recovery. You have to reserve in advance... More

A group of friends visited this natural monument. We climbed for about 10 hours and got there tired but happy. It was very cold for a person who lives in Playa Jaco, but it was rewording any minite of it. Took great pics!
