Paese: Costa Rica
Durata:
05:00 ore
Descrizione
Hike through coffee fields and mountain ridges in a small group from San José. Choose a 5-km or 9-km route to the Mantra Hand and enjoy Costa Rican coffee brewed the traditional way.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in San José, Escazú, or Alajuela. Enjoy a 30-minute drive on paved roads into the hills of Santa Ana. Choose a 6:30, 7:00, 8:00, or 8:30 a.m. pickup time, with the earliest recommended to enjoy the cool morning air.
Arrive at Hacienda La Chimba, a 65-hectare working coffee farm in the hills of Río Oro de Santa Ana. Choose between two routes, both of which reach the Mantra Hand. Pick the distance that suits your legs, with your guide able to adjust on the day.
The Classic Loop is a 5-kilometer route that takes you through coffee rows, sculptures, and the summit viewpoint at a steady, comfortable pace. The Long Ridge is a 9-kilometer route that extends the classic loop deeper into the hills, with more climbing and more views.
Your guide hands out water and a trail snack, then the path climbs through the farm's coffee rows. Enjoy the early light, cool air, and the first views over Santa Ana. Pass the Buddha, the oxcart, and the Morpho butterfly before the trail opens onto the summit: a giant open hand facing the Central Valley and the mountains beyond. Take some time for photos and a pause.
Back at the hacienda, enjoy a cup of chorreado, coffee brewed the traditional Costa Rican way, through a cloth filter. Finally, return to your hotel about 4 to 5 hours after pickup, depending on the route, with the afternoon still yours.
