Jungle Expedition through The Childrens Eternal Rainforest

After a one hour ride in a four wheel drive truck through mountain paths, you will arrive at the Pocosol Station, a scientific research center created to study the flora and fauna and which is located alongside a lagoon of volcanic origin at 1100 meters above sea level. During the 4 hour long hike through 7 kilometers (4.45 mile) trail you will admire the primary forest, the volcanic soil with its fumaroles, the Pocosol Waterfall with a height over 50 meters (164 feet), the observation deck which allows you to watch its fall into a river canyon, as well as the areas’ incredible flora and fauna including a large variety of animals, like wild boars, coatis, agoutis, howler monkeys, and many types of birds.

This research center is part of the reserve Children’s Eternal Rainforest, which is administered by the Monteverde Conservationist Association, that possesses 22,000 hectares (54.400 acres) of protected forest. It is also one of the most important and oldest reserves in Latin America, and the largest private reserve in Costa Rica and Central America.
