Dendrobates Rainforest Reserve Hike

This private reserve is the best example of primary forest we can visit in the vicinity of Arenal Volcano, only 5 minutes from La Fortuna. Owned by the Association of Neighbors from the nearby village of El Bosque, this land was almost lost when squatters illegally tried to turn it into a banana plantation a decade ago. Today it preserves over 300 hectares of forest where we can find many 50 meter high Ceiba (Ceiba pentandra) and Javillo (Hura crepitans) trees as well as other species of endangered hardwood trees.
