[…] We’ve done a lot of hikes and seen many remarkable places, so sometimes we can be a bit hard to please. That being said, Cahuita National Park is a gem that can’t be missed if visiting Costa Rica. The hike takes you along an easy trail, with gently crashing waves on one side and thick, wildlife-rich jungle on the other. Monkeys, toucans, sloths, butterflies, lizards and a whole slew of other animals call the Cahuita National Park home. […]

That is a beautiful volcano! The forest cover seems virgin, and the scenery is lovely. Can we take a dip at the lake?

In reply to Toni. Hi Toni, Thanks so much for the comment. Both hikes are definitely challenging, but as long as you are in good shape, then you'll be fine. :) In terms of which to hike, most people recommended Maderas to us because there is more shade on the volcano because of the dense jungle, you can see more animals/monkeys, and there is a better view at the top when you are about to come back down. The little lake in the crater at the top of Maderas is also beautiful. Concepcion is more challenging and still active, so I think a lot of avid hikers like that one. There is not much vegetation on the volcano, so it is a lot more hot, but the scenery is different and also still beautiful. Unfortunately since we didn't hike both we can't offer more in-depth information, but Maderas was definitely beautiful, difficult but doable, and a great experience over all. Hope that helps!
