Arenal Observatory Lodge, Costa Rica

The short Escondido Trail, which means hidden, is indeed a secluded path within the Arenal Observatory Lodge’s private reserve—catch the trail, which can be accessed at two different points, near the gate, or behind the Smithsonian Rooms. A hike along this easy path, takes the hiker through a colorful grove of eucalyptus trees—perfect for birding opportunities.
