The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

Wear sturdy sneakers with a good tread—platforms and bridges can be slippery after rain.

Hydrate before arrival

Bring at least 1 liter of water; you’ll be active for two hours on-site and the coastal sun is intense.

Morning for calmer wind

Book the earliest slot for steadier winds and clearer views if you’re prone to motion sensitivity.

Secure loose items

Use the provided lockers or leave phones and hats in the van—wind will take anything unsecured.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask the guide for a stop at a roadside fritura stand near the park for plantain bites after the tour
  • Look for small limestone caves off the trails—simple formations created by the karst landscape

Wildlife

  • Grey kingbirds
  • Hammock-dwelling tree frogs

Conservation Note

The park maintains double-cable systems to reduce tree impact and limits group sizes to protect trails and canopy; follow guide instructions to avoid vegetation damage.

The northern karst belt shaped local settlement and agriculture—old sugar-era roads and field walls still punctuate the countryside you'll pass.
