Upon arrival at the base of the volcano, park the vehicle and begin our hike along the traditional “Camino Gobierno” trail. The path takes us through active agricultural fields, offering spectacular landscapes where the volcano rises dramatically in the background.
The ecosystem here is unlike any other forest in the country. The unique microclimate, cool temperatures, misty clouds, and ancient trees create a truly special atmosphere. During the hike, you’ll witness areas shaped by past volcanic activity—burned forests, fallen trees, and remarkable natural regeneration that shows how life returns after intense eruptive periods.

The journey concludes at the main house of a local dairy farmer, where a traditional Costa Rican lunch is served, prepared with fresh regional ingredients.
