Description

Following a 25-minute drive, you will arrive at the beginning of the Pipeline Trail, which spans approximately 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) roundtrip. As you journey along the trail, explore the cloud forest encircling the park's perimeter. This path showcases ancient trees, bridges crossing a creek, and rare wildlife, including quetzals, sloths, and monkeys. Trip details may change due to severe weather or unforeseen events. While wildlife sightings are highly likely, they cannot be guaranteed. Recommended Trails: Pipeline Trail: This is the top recommendation for half-day hikes. It meanders through the cloud forest, traverses two micro-climates, and offers opportunities to spot small wildlife. It’s one of the best spots to potentially see the Resplendent Quetzal. Lost Waterfalls Trail: This trail begins with a steep ascent, requiring a higher fitness level. It features three stunning waterfalls, with the first being easily accessible and offering a great photo opportunity. The second waterfall has a strong flow into a small pool, but going under it is not advised due to falling rocks. The third waterfall involves a more challenging trek and may not always be accessible due to time constraints and trail maintenance. The trail itself is beautiful, with breathtaking jungle scenery.
