Nature and culture hiking to El Burrito waterfall by Canoe Aventure

Our activity starts right before 8 a.m. by leaving the town of La Fortuna with a drive for around 15 minutes in order to reach the community of El Burrito, there we continue our drive on a gravel road in the middle of cattle farms that will take as to an altitude of around 600 meters above sea level up in the mountains and this section of the drive will take around another 15 minutes, until we get to the entrance of our trail that will take us into the beautiful rainforest.
Once we start the hike in our trail we will be entering the rainforest and making the transition to the cloud forest which is also part of the Children's Eternal Forest. On this trail we will hike for approximately 2 hours until we reach our final goal that is the beautiful “El Burrito Waterfall” of approx. 40 mts. drop. In this hike we will be able to enjoy a diversity of flora and fauna, also we will have the experience of crossing rivers of crystal clear water and also find different species of birds, and if we are lucky observe white faced monkeys, spider monkeys, small mammals, natural water springs and diversity of lush plants and a large tree that its roots will take your breath away, take in consideration that this is mostly primary forest.
When we arrive at the waterfall we take a break of approximately 20 to 30 minutes, so you can load up energy from mother nature and feel the strong breeze that the water falling makes. After you have charge your energy we will continue the trail for 45 more minutes until we reach our rustic ranch that has a unique dirt floor, there we prepare a snack of fresh fruits and you will be able to enjoy the beautiful views of the north plains that can only be observe from this altitude of 600 meters above the sea level and do not forget that Arenal Volcano and right beside us.
Also, we will have the opportunity to see different typical Costa Rican crops such as yucca, ñampi and tiquizque (there like sweet potatoes), plantains, bananas, sugar cane, aromatic plants and many other fruits and if there are any fruits on season you are more than welcome to help yourself. We will finish the activity with a 20-minute drive back to La Fortuna.
