Itinerary description
Distance: 4.4 Km.
Difficulty: Difficult
Duration: 3 Hours
Starting from the native tree nursery at the Greg Gund Conservation Center, you will descend along a forested ridge that gives you a dramatic perspective hard to find on other trails as both sides drop away into the calming sound of the Coyunda stream below. After crossing the Coyunda, you’ll wind your way up through the forest and along yet another ridge with a view to the Pacific. The second half of this loop follows the road and passes through a 50 acre forest restoration plot where we are using bat roosts and bird boxes to naturally restore abandoned pochote plantation to ecologically vibrant rainforest.
This trail is part of the Osa Biodiversity Center hiking trail system.
