Cotのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

To get here, you can enter Prusia Park and walk along the Cabeza de Vaca Trail, but you'll have to pay a toll to use the access route through Finca Hacienda Retes. Alternatively, you can exit the park through the main entrance and take the first turn on the right onto an asphalt road, also paying a toll. Continue up a steep hill and you'll reach the Cabeza de Vaca Trail again.

This trail offers spectacular views of Cartago province. Please note that to continue inside the park, you must return along this same trail.

Here you can buy souvenirs and there is also a small café/bakery

A very beautiful viewpoint. We used the short circular trail to acclimatize/prepare for Cerro Chirripó, as you're at a very high altitude. Due to the altitude, it can be chilly and windy; we were there in April, and a sweater was sufficient. I can definitely recommend visiting the volcano in the morning. Between 8 and 10 a.m., there are hardly any people there, and the sky is usually still clear at this time. Clouds usually move up the mountain from mid-morning onward. The view is magnificent; however, the turquoise lakes aren't visible during the dry season; they're probably only full during the rainy season. There's a small restaurant that leaves nothing to be desired; all in all, it's fantastic.

A visit worth it for volcano lovers. Recommended in the morning

Access requires online reservation. Access is possible until 1 p.m., so it makes sense to hike the Prusia sector in the morning and then visit the Irazu volcano.

Very windy but beautiful.
