Hiking with Juan Carlos - Juan Castro Blanco National Park

Offered exclusively to Tree House Guests!

Truly get off the beaten path and hike through an unspoiled park that is not on typical tourist route. Juan Carlos knows the area and there are three different routes to take, from moderate to challenging. Bird and wildlife watching can be amazing at the park where there is a chance to see the elusive quetzal. The park was created in 1992 and aside from a few trails, there aren’t many services. There are some abandoned mines near the top part of the challenging hike.
