Beautiful sunset hike
Nick F, Apr 2025
The tour operator was very knowledgeable and pointed out local plants and animals that we would have missed. The hotel was really cool and the view was amazing!

Great experience and opportunity to be immersed in nature
Nasreen A, Feb 2025
Oscar is very knowledgeable and Brent was extremely pleasant to work with. This was a great hike. I was able to see some wildlife like white face monkeys, butterflies, birds and frogs. Most impressive is Oscar’s and Brent’s passion for the preservation of this beautiful location.

Fantastic tour!

Oscar was a great Guide! He's got a long and intimate relationship with the mountain and the El Miro site. He regaled us with fascinating stories that gave context to every turn of the winding path to the top. We made it to the summit in time to see a fantastic sunset and got stunning views of the ocean and of Jaco at night. I'd definitely recommend Brent's company and this tour in particular.

Excellent morning Hike near Jaco
Allen_G, May 2024
The best memories were from our guide Oscar who provided a lot of information about the area, plants and trees, and of course wildlife. Oscar was extremely helpful and very likeable. We would definitely recommend this hike to others. The Hike up the mountain was easily managed by a couple of 70+ yr olds. The views from the top were definitely worth it.
