Beautiful hike in the thick forest protected from the rain. We had rain and sun and a beautiful morning. First hike is about an hour, second one across the highway about 30 min. The friendly ranger pointed out a three toed sloth in a tree near the parking lot . Pack a lunch as there are picnic tables, bathrooms and drinking water.

Great little butterfly kingdom. Excellent, well informed introduction around the links between butterflies (in their various stages of development) and plants and another animals. Superb collection. Spent a good hour or so on the morning before departure. $12 entrance - worth it - and supports the facility.

Excellent my favorite animal-zoo place that I have visited, guides are very knowledgeable Some animals are rescued and returned to the wild, some cannot make it on their own and live here. Super guides, they know a lot, For example our guide was a doctor MD from Europe taking a break after her medical school. This place is well worth the $20. ( and the money is used to feed and rescue these amazing animals) Tour last about 45 minutes, we saw so many animals its hard to list them all. Lots of super cute monkeys, huge Crocodiles, Cayman, deadly bush master snake, big mean looking rattle snakes, 12 foot pythons, ocelots, parrots ( they say ola + hello and more and they whistle at you ) , turtles, deer. owls, .... By the way, look down and or look on trees and you are likely to see jungle ants carrying big green leaves, just like on the jungle documentaries. And the entrance fee helps feed and rescue these animals like the hawk who was shot, or the deer whose mother was killed by hunters ( a real life Bambi ) This is my favorite thing that I did in the San Jose area
9. Pico Blanco Hiking

If you would like to hike into the Ecazu mountains and summit Pico Blanco at 2271m. This is the perfect half day hike. With views of San Jose and Irazu and Poas Volcanoes. Accompanied by your own private guide. Meeting at the Escazu landmark Iglesia de San Antonio. Served coffee and cake at the top of the mountain. You will be able to take great pictures and see San Jose in a unique way.
