The Cerros de Escazú are a mountain range located in the central corridor of Costa Rica, southwest of San José. It borders to the north with the Central Valley and forms, together with the Cedral massif, the Fila de la Candelaria, the northernmost part of the Cordillera de Talamanca, the main mountainous axis of the country.

Today’s walk takes us to Pico Blanco (an extinct volcano), 2,271 meters above sea level, with an altitude difference of about 1,000 meters.

The adventure takes place on paths that cross woods with dense vegetation and towering trees and then give way to open spaces that flank huge rock formations.

It is an immersion in nature for lovers of walking on paths unknown to mass tourism, with rather steep sections.

The temperature is generally hot and humid, but wind cannot be ruled out once you reach the top.

If we are lucky and the sky is clear, the view extends over  San Jose city, the surrounding mountain range and the Pacific Ocean.
