Hiking

La Cruz Miravalles Pérez Zeledón

Start your morning or afternoon with a short hike up to La Cruz de Miravalles. It is a 1 km walk up the mountain from the cabin. It can take 40-60 minutes depending on how fast you hike up the mountain. With wonderful views of the valley and a cool breeze it is definitely worth the while.
