Tortuguero Hill
For a hike with a view, climb the steps nearly 400 feet to the top of Cerro del Tortuguero. This inactive volcano marks the highest point in the region, and rewards hikers with panoramic views of the Tortuguero canals and rainforest. Although the stairway may be easy to find, locating the wildlife can be more challenging. If you prefer to book this as an organized tour with a guide through your lodge, you can expect to pay around $40. Otherwise, the 2.1 km (1.3 mile) hike will set you back a small $3 access fee, plus the cost of your boat taxi. Check the boat schedule to plan your return trip accordingly.
