Sentieri escursionistici naturali dell'Arenal

Hike in a wild rainforest away from tourists and discover beautiful waterfalls, swimming holes, and lush nature. We took an uber to and from, and wore water shoes as the trail can get muddy at parts and we wanted to go into the water. Bring a change of clothes and towels if you want to go swimming. Also, there are easier trails and harder trails you can take. We did the easier trails which still require a moderate level of fitness and balance. Walking sticks that are provided helped immensely. If you want to experience a tourist attraction, go to La Fortuna waterfalls. If you want to experience a more wild and non-touristy rainforest with smaller, but more waterfalls and room to explore and hike away from the crowds, come here.

Beautiful forest, medium difficulty trails, riverside hike and waterfalls, recommend! You can swim and take pets

Let’s start from where it started: Dyhana. I was trying to understand if our 9 year old daughter would like this place. I Whatsapped Dyhana (which turns out is Tio Victor’s daughter) and wow! She was disarmingly kind, informative, caring from the very beginning. Having somebody on the other side that cares makes all the difference in the world while you live far far away. We finally made it to meet Dyhana She is even more delightful in person. The entire family is! And so is the history of this oasis. Ahhh the forest! Magical, mystical, spectacular! The waterfalls are so beautiful and the stream is just refreshing enough that you do want to stop and enjoy it from time to time. The hike is the perfect length (5 km), with mixed terrains impeccably kept and with discreet railing when somebody like me with arthritis needs the extra help. Our 9 year old kid old loved it so much that we had trouble extracting her. And finally: the entry ticket is reasonably priced making it affordable for all. Bottom line: SPECTACULAR in every way. Thank you!!!

Great place to walk rainforest and take a bath in rover ponds❤️ Nicely roued trail for fot people, remote, privacy guaranteed

I found this excursion via Google when I was looking for an alternative to the many expensive trips, and I was very pleasantly surprised from the beginning: by the clear and friendly communication of the operator Diana (first via whatsapp and then also in real life). I was the only participant of the trail when I arrived, Diana gave me information and some instructions and then the adventure started 🤠 Very nice challenging trail (there are forks here and there where you want to follow an easy or more challenging path). You get a bamboo stick, you really need it to keep you straight on some pieces. You should also bring good, waterproof walking shoes (not a smooth sole), and mosquito repellent. (Also need some physical fitness and courage!) And then enjoy the adventure!

I had the opportunity to talk to both the mother & daughter of this business, and both seem to be genuine and kind people. They talked to me about how they worked hard to ensure that the trails stayed as natural as possible, and they definitely did a good job of that. The forest itself is beautiful, and for most of it you're walking next to a clear stream, which sometimes create small waterfalls that you can swim near. During my visit I saw some cool animals, such as the central american agouti as well as two non-venomous snakes (which were quite shy and fled immediately, but were a thrill to see nonetheless!) There were also a few birds, but honestly just seeing the variety of trees and plants was enough. It's hard to find trails where you have so many options for swimming, so this was definitely a 10/10. Just make sure to bring reliable shoes with good grip! Personally I didn't even need bug spray (which is bad for the water anyway).

10000/10. it was amazing. extraordinary. make sure you have good grippy hiking shoes!! it says 15$ per person but it was actually 10$. if you are not in shape you would still like it! The extreme hiking trail went to the swim spot #2 and the spot #1 was very close to the entrance. Extreme hiking trail has rope, you'll be fine!!! they also provided walking sticks!!

This is a hidden gem in the Fortuna area! We are here during the slow season, and we were the only people who visited the trail today! The trails were very natural. We are frequent, experienced hikers and found it pleasantly challenging. We did all of the available trails, including the Extreme Trail. The swimming hole at the very end was incredible!

Great 5mi/7km hike through rainforest past several small waterfalls and pools that you can swim in. Very few other people

Amazing natural trail! Bring good trail shoes if you really want to enjoy it fully. Peaceful and nice water holes and water falls. This is a don’t miss especially if you don’t have technical trails where you come from. You might even have their sweet dog follow you during some of your walk
