Itinerary description
Quick Facts
Location : Braulio Carrillo National Park (province of Heredia, Costa Rica, Central America)
Altitude : 9,700 feet above sea level
Hours : 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily
Hiking:
There are four major trails that snake through Braulio Carrillo National Park’s Barva Sector: Stag Horn Path (Sendero Cacho Venado), Barva Lagoon Path, Copey Lagoon Trail and Vara Blanca Lookout Path.
Take advantage of the park’s 7 a.m. opening, and arrive early: the most common hike begins on the Stag Horn Path (1.5 hours), hooking onto the Barva Lagoon Path (1 hour), linking to the Copey Lagoon Trail (2 hours – optional), and finally looping down into the Vara Blanca Lookout Path (1 hour). The full Barva Volcano hike, including a picnic lunch, will take at least 6 hours. Get there early to avoid foggy conditions at the lagoons.
