Itinerary description
Distance: 1.2 Km.
Difficulty: Difficult
Duration: 45 Min
This trail starts near the dining hall and connects the Piro Research Center clearing to the Cerro Osa Trail. Shortly into your walk you will use a fallen-tree bridge to cross the Coyunda. The two small water crossings on this trail make it one of the better places to glimpse a river otter (Lutra longicaudis) or even a greater grison (Galictis vittata), both of which have been observed here despite their very rare status. With an altitudinal gradient of approximately 100 m, this trail will take you through 10 year old secondary forest, an old vanilla plantation and finally mature forest, where you will find a huge Chiricano Alegre (Humiriastrum diguense) tree.
This trail is part of the Osa Biodiversity Center hiking trail system.
