This 8 to 10 hour tour is certainly is one of the most rewarding adventures a lodge in Costa Rica has to offer! It combines a horseback ride to the end of Valle Bonito, a hike through untouched primary rainforest all the way to the coast, a beach picnic, a swim in warm Golfo Dulce, a boat trip along the coast to Golfito, and a drive through the rainforest back to the lodge. The 3- to 4-hour hike from Valle Bonito to San Josecito beach passes through the very center of Piedras Blancas National Park and is steep at places. Good physical health and stamina is required.
