The Reto Mae Hike – An Epic Coastal Adventure

Get ready for one of the most breathtaking hikes in Costa Rica! The Reto Mae Hike is the result of an exciting local collaboration led by the renowned Amigos del Río rafting team, who’ve carved out a hidden gem of a trail through lush jungle and along the dramatic coastline between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park.

This isn’t just a hike—it’s an adventure. You'll explore eight stunning beaches, seven of which are so remote they can only be reached by foot or boat. Imagine trekking through tropical rainforest, crossing secret coves, and cooling off in crystal-clear waters, all while soaking in postcard-perfect views and the wild beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

Whether you're chasing solitude, nature, or that “wow” moment—this hike delivers. Join us and discover the untouched side of Manuel Antonio.
