MOUNT BRITTON HIKING TOUR
$87 Per Person
A
Cloud Forest, also called a Dwarf Forest, Elfin forest, or Mossy Forest,
is found only on high ridges of 2,500 to 3,500 feet. The extreme
environmental conditions make this forest type a biological curiosity. The
perpetually wet environment (rainfall of 200 inches annually) and
temperature averages of 65 degrees, produce this environment characterized
by opaque clouds that hang just above the ground.
In this occasion, we start with a challenge trail going up to Mt. Britton
Observation Tower for about 45 minutes. A short stop at Palo Colorado
Information Center will allow our hikers to refresh and visit the gift
shop. A second hiking trail (Big Tree Trail) will lead us to La Mina Falls
where you can relax in the cold waters of this beautiful area. A final
stop at Yocahú Observation Tower is also included.
Snacks and water are included.
