About this experience

Cabo Blanco is Costa Rica's very first officially declared National Park and one of the country's most treasured natural sanctuaries. This exceptional reserve protects a rare transitional forest ecosystem, where tropical dry forest and rainforest merge in perfect harmony. Located in the heart of the Nicoya Peninsula, Cabo Blanco offers an authentic and immersive experience for travelers seeking nature, tranquility and adventure.

The park features two hiking options designed for different interests and activity levels. The short trail is a 2 km educational walk, ideal for guests who wish to enjoy a leisurely journey while learning about the region's unique biodiversity. For those looking for a more adventurous challenge, the long trail is a 10 km hike that leads deep into the forest, offering a rewarding trek through pristine landscapes.

Along the way, visitors may encounter an incredible variety of wildlife, including playful monkeys, colorful tropical birds and even graceful white-tailed deer. With its towering trees, refreshing shade and rich natural beauty, Cabo Blanco is a must-visit destination for anyone wanting to experience Costa Rica at its most pure and unforgettable.
