All guided tours in the Lapa Rios Reserve help support the ongoing maintenance and land acquisition of the reserve. Choosing to hike and learn with a knowledgeable local guide gives the community continuing economic support and demonstrates that this diverse lowland tropical rain forest left standing is more valuable than one cut down. Sign up at reception for the reserve tours.
All walks leave from the front desk and length of time is approximate.
