This trail is not part of an official national or state park, therefore, your best chance of experiencing it is with a local. We'll leave the car right next to the trailhead.

Through the length of the trail you'll experience different types of vegetation and forests, giving you a little taste of everything. Halfway up, the trail emerges from the forest into an exposed section, where you'll experience some of the best views of the city. Due to its position, it is one of the few trails that offers a complete view of the city. You'll have views of the three main volcanoes near San Jose (Poas, Barva and Irazu) and the whole central valley. We continue up through the second half of the climb, entering a more humid and muddy rainforest until we reach the top. Here we will find a sign marking the top and views of a nearby windfarm. The descent follows a different trail, traversing the mountain and passing through a pine forest. Eventually we'll loop back to the trailhead and go back down the dirt road to the car.
