If you have to choose between wild life vs zipline/thermal/waterfall, you would enjoy cerro Gaital a lot more for being quietly amazed by tropical forest wildlife. However, if you expect thermal or zipline, please go elsewhere. Sometimes it’s worth doing a bit of a research to avoid going to a wrong destination and complain afterwards, to be fair. Minutes after we got off our van, we saw a huge hummingbird right away! Not to mention many more other rare birds. It’s definitely worth to hire a local wildlife guide who knows all the details. Ours is super professional. He has all the singing of the various birds on his phone and he also carries a portable amplifier of these recorded singing to attract the rare birds for our easy sighting. He does it in a way that is not annoying to the nature and not other travellers (who are actually curious to see what birds would come!) We were also lucky to spot two sloths separately and one was even slowing moving! We also saw the biggest life blue butterfly we ever saw in the wild, and many more interesting plants. The climb uphill was not difficult but was a bit slippery coming downhill so a pair of hiking shoes or even sticks are advisable. I didn’t bring sticks but had a pair of gloves so it helped a bit. (Sunblock/mosquito repellent/ rain coat just in case) Don’t forget your binoculars of course! But it is so worth to see both oceans once you are at the top and overlook the living village in the crater. Enjoy a good hike!

Wow!! View at the top was absolutely stunning. The trail is actually a loop, but we hiked out the way we came up. Beware that locals hang out around the entrance to the hike and ask you to pay them a few bucks to "look out after your car."

Stunning waterfall in the mountains. Perfect place for a swim, contemplation, learning about permaculture, couples travel. You can go for the day for $5 or stay in one of the guest rooms for a few nights. Birds, flowers, cooler air - lovely place. Lunch was decent - great sautéed plantains and homemade orange cheesecake.
