Park

Within the reserve, you can enjoy one of two hiking trails. The first is called the Danes Trail and leads through the forest in a loop not far from the ranger station. The trail is only 1.2 miles long (2 kilometers) and is a popular side trip for visitors.

The second is the more popular Sueco Trail. The Sueco Trail is the main reason to visit the park, and it’s a 3.1 mile (5 kilometers) walk from the ranger station to Playa Cabo Blanco (10 kilometers return). The trail takes just over an hour each way.

Along both trails, you can see a wide variety of wildlife including monkeys, bats, butterflies, birds, ants, and lizards. It’s also home to lots of wildflowers and beautiful trees. Wildlife lovers will be in paradise at Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve!

It costs $12 USD to visit the park, and it’s open from 8 am to 4 pm Wednesday to Sunday (closed Mondays and Tuesdays.) To get there via public transport, catch the bus from Montezuma to Cabuya.
