What a great trip with Ecoterra. We were in the Fortuna area and wanted to get away from the tourists. This trip is like an hour drive away on a crazy bumpy road (I loved it!). You arrive at the Poscol station and do ~4.5 miles of walking on the trails. It was fairly short for a hiking trip, but was nice. Tons of different types of plants and wildlife. We didn't see another person the whole trip. Food back at the Poscol station was also really good. Best coffee I have ever had in my life too (Cafe de Monteverde).
