This National Park is one of the most popular in the country thanks to its wide variety of flora and fauna specimens: it is home to 3 of the 4 existing monkey species in Costa Rica.

The trail they will take is approximately 2 miles long, flat and picturesque and loops through the Park.

Half way through the hike, a 20-minute stop will be made at the third beach for everyone to rest on the beach or play among the waves if they choose so. Throughout the hike they will be able to observe sloths, birds and reptiles, as well as admire orchids, butterflies and tropical trees.
