Cerro Chirripo, the tallest mountain in Costa Rica, rises to an altitude of 3820 meters (12,532 feet) above sea level.  The popular three day hike starts in the town of San Jerónimo and passes through five different ecological zones, presenting visitors with mystical cloud forests, babbling brooks and spectacular landscapes.  It is inhabited by tapirs, orchids, quetzals, monkeys and a wide range of tropical flora and fauna. The hike is 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) and ascends 2400 meters (7874 feet) – it is more demanding than your average trail.  This amazing hike is a favorite for people looking to explore off the beaten path in Costa Rica.
