Hiking opportunities abound on almost all of Adventure Life's Costa Rica tours, as walking through the rainforest with local guides and identifying interesting flora and fauna is a highlight of any trip. Hike near the active Arenal Volcano on the Adventure Pacifica tour where you can combine hiking with whitewater rafting and zip-lining through the rainforest. If you want to go beyond one- or two-hour hikes and have a true trekking experience, try the Corcovado Trek where you can spend days hiking from lodge to lodge along the beach. For Costa Rica's ultimate hiking trip, climb Costa Rica's highest peak, Chirripo, in three spectacularly scenic days. Not sure which Costa Rica hiking adventure to choose?
