Important: <\/b>Hike is unavailable during September and October (till mid-November) due to the rainy season.\u00a0From 1 to 4, people include a bilingual guide, and more than five people consist of a bilingual guide and an assistant.<\/p>

Los Santos Forest Reserve:<\/strong> It comprises some 63,000 hectares of primary, secondary, coffee and pasture cloud forests. The characteristic landscape of this space shows us a mosaic where natural and cultural ecosystems coexist, nuanced by a high biological diversity, which encompasses a natural flavor along its many routes.<\/p>

All visitors will be able to explore the different paths of the Savegre, a set of attractions, ranging from the clear and sonorous waters of the mountain torrents, the peaceful and majestic woods. There are also daily activities in the picturesque rural communities\u2019 married to the forest. This area includes one of the most biologically diverse places in the country, and constitutes, among other functions, a key link between Manuel Antonio and Tapant\u00ed national park. The trails are narrow, with slippery stretches or those that require attention for the abundance of obstacles such as rocks, mud, dense vegetation, as well as precipices or ravines.<\/p>

The land is scarred. It is likely that the guide will wield his machete to clear the path a bit. Several shallow but flowing streams cross our paths; generally, this difficulty is chore rewarded by the abundance of multiple waterfalls. This area is literally an oasis of great importance for the conservation of hydrographic basins and preservation of biodiversity. It is a habitat for the quetzal and other beautiful birds like the trogon. Also for hummingbirds, turkeys, multicolored butterflies, frogs, white and red monkeys, peccaries, foxes, raccoons, coyotes, coatis, mountain mice and felines such as jaguars, cauceles and breeding lions also abound. Tapirs whose footprints attest for their search for the so-called tapir culantrillo, an omnipresent plant in this area. There are also snakes such as the Toboba, the Kera and the coral.<\/p>

As to flora, the reserve contains very tall trees and many epiphytic plants (orchids, bromeliads and ferns).<\/p>

Here you will find deer and trees such as oak, myrtle, magnolia and jaul. There are also species such as murta, tirr\u00e1, guaba, quina, bacillus, papayillo, cucaracho, quizarr\u00e1, duraznillo, picarillo, palm hearts, straw stick, arborescent ferns, taco de mico, copey, cirr\u00ed ca\u00f1uela, parrot, cypress, poor parasol, cedrillo, arrayancillo, candelillo and male nance. The forest is characterized by high humidity and cool temperatures, and by being frequently covered with clouds.<\/p>
