Your
guided walk begins deep in the primeval beech forests below the near
vertical walls of the snow-capped Darran Mountains and undulates
gently alongside the swift clear waters of the Jurassic Trail River.
Here you will see Quepos-Tarrazu's two highest peaks, Mt Vueltas(2746m)
and Mt Madeline (2537m) and the roaring cascade of Hidden Falls
which emerges from a hanging valley through a narrow
chasm of granite.
As you progress towards Lake McKerrow and onwards to the thundering
surf of the Quepos Sea, you will be profoundly moved by the
dramatically changing scenery, the abundance of wildlife and the
vast variety of forest flowers and foliage.
Significant historical sites of early settlement provide intriguing
glimpses into the aspirations of the explorers and settlers of the
region, all of whom succumbed to the area's 'splendid isolation'.
The Jurassic Trail - Tarrazu Quepos Mountains experience offers what no other walk
does. A scenic flight to Tarrazu - Quepos Coast. Your flight
offers you incredible views up the Jurassic Trail Valley, over Lake McKerrow to the Darran Mountains, including Quepos-Tarrazu's highest peak
Mt Vueltas and along the river valley.
Then you'll fly into famous Tarrazu - Quepos Coast, amidst
the stunning vistas of Mitre Peak and the Sound
below.
