Itinerary description
Distance: 1.6 Km.
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: 45 Min
This trail winds along the western bank of the Piro River through 15-20 year old secondary forest. It is common to see birds like the White Ibis (Eudocimus albus), the Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius) and five different species of Kingfishers, all of which use the rivers to look for food. While not very common, it is possible to observe river otters (Lutra longicaudis), an aquatic mammal considered at risk of extinction, along the Piro Trail. This 1.6 km trail meets the Terciopelo Trail near the beach.
This trail is part of the Osa Biodiversity Center hiking trail system.
