We spent a month hiking COSTA RICA! 🇨🇷 (6 BEST trails from La Fortuna)

We spent a month in La Fortuna, Costa Rica exploring the best nature and hiking trails. These are best trails that we found! (See below)

We're Brandi & Alan, full-time travelers and creators since 2018. We post fun vlogs and informative guides to both document our travels and help you on your own journey.

*Planning your own trip to Costa Rica? Add these to your itinerary!*
1. Arenal National Park - we run into some cool wildlife, experience our first chifrijos (my favorite Costa Rican dish!), and meet a local wildlife volunteer! 2. Tirimbina Nature Reserve, located at the Saraquipi river - the reserve had amazing hanging bridges and was our personal favorite!
3. Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco - a high altitude cloud forest with a beautiful lake!
4. Braulio Carillo National Park - A large reserve with a lot of wildlife!
5. Arenal Observatory Lodge - easy hiking close to La Fortuna
6. Pocosol (Children's Eternal Rainforest) - a very local and highly recommended nature reserve (the largest private reserve in Costa Rica!). It requires a 4x4 vehicle to access.

Looks like a hikers paradise. Love the straw hats. I hope to get there one day. The eternal rainforest looks amazing.

Haven't watched the whole vlog yet but just wanted to let you know (in case you didn't find out!) at about 1min 30 - the noise you thought was a toucan is actually a Montezuma oropendola! One of my favourite bird noises from my travels to Costa Rica too :)

[WhereDoWeTravelNow]

Coatis are very cute and friendly, didn't expect that. Sorry for the snakes you stepped on though 😅 Great hikes, guys, really enjoyed the whole thing. Maybe that bridge would have been to much for me, but great views.

[ChasingDifferentAdventures]

Awesome Hike locations, Amazing WaterFalls, cool Wildlife. It's great you were able to book an alternate Flight for the Wedding Have Fun and take Care. Gret Adventures

What a beautiful experience! I'm costarican and I feel so happy to see how you enjoyed my country! You're always more than welcome, I want to see more about your adventure here, I actually didn't know about the forest you're going, can't wait to see it!

[Nicky-dpqs]

I can’t wait to go there someday! Last year I went to Acapulco, Mexico and I knew I had a chance of spotting coatis! I spotted two on the last day of our trip I was so happy because they’re my 2nd favorite animal! 😀

[wozzajayscrapping]

Wow! That view of the waterfall at 15:14 is breathtaking. Looking forward to Switzerland🙂

[colincraigo]

The last video was good so just started immediately watching this one. Also, Kuwati (my best guess at spelling it) sounds like a little 5 year old boy trying to say “Karate”

[TheTolleRoad]

No janky bolts here… paint them! 😂 Again you find the cool animals!

[vickyshort]

Loved the coverage of hiking at a more “amateur” level. Some of the hikes out there are crazy

[dowdjr]

Enjoyed the video! We're going for a long weekend, if you could only do two or three of these which would you choose?! Thanks!

[MathewLauren]

Okay we are convinced! Another country we need to visit just got added to the list.

[POETICO]

Great job! Nice video quality. What type of camera did you guys use?
