 – Short Description: The ultimate Costa Rica wilderness adventure: crossing the entire country on foot over the Talamanca Mountains, from Caribbean coast to Pacific coast (or reverse). 100+ km through primary rainforest, páramo, cloud forest. The author of costa-rica-guide.com calls it ‘one of my favorite adventures ever.’ Wet, muddy, buggy — prepare for all conditions. Very few complete this traverse annually. Multiple river crossings. Requires serious backcountry experience.
