Does anyone know if you need to set up a day tour at AOL in advance? I read somewhere that it was a $6.00 entry fee to hike the trails, but I don't know if that is still a valid price. I also wonder if you need to set it up before you arrive or just show up and pay. We aren't staying there, but I know that the wildlife sightings at AOL are tops in the area. We've already gone to Cano Negro and Hanging Bridges on past trips.
Thanks!

Hi, col - I'm going to throw a bookmark on here because I'd like to do it too.
VG - since no one responded with info, I e-mailed AOL directly to ask about hiking on their trails as a day visitor. The entry fee for visitors is $6 and you can hike on your own, no advance reservations necessary.
3 1/2 weeks until departure!
Oh, thanks, col - that's definitely something I'd like to do. Where all are you going on your trip?
VG - heading to Rio Celeste (La Carolina), Arenal, Tortuguero, Cahuita, Sarapiqui, then a one week homestay via Friendship Force with my Alajuela friends. During that final week, we are doing day trips to Bajos del Toro, Paraiso del Quetzal, Poas and Orosi Valley. Three week trip with several new destinations that are very much off the beaten track!
Sounds amazing. I'll look forward to your trip report. Rio Celeste is still on our to do list! Have a great time!
