Rainmaker Forest

A winding hiking trail complete with rope suspension bridges works through this pristine mountain forest, which is home to over half of Costa RicaтАЩs indigenous species.

The Rainmaker Forest is a privately-owned nature reserve that narrowly escaped destruction. Thanks to the dedication of the late Mauricio Gutierrez, his Ann and their children, and the Body Shop (yes, the cosmetics giant), this swath of pristine rainforest was saved from being repossessed by the bank and sold to a Japanese logging company. The privately owned and lesser-known, 2.5 kilometer trail system here doesnтАЩt see much foot traffic, so you usually have the lush mountain forest to yourself. Over half of Costa RicaтАЩs plant and animal species are represented here, and more adventurous hikers can head further up the mountain to enjoy a series of majestic lookout points and suspension bridges. Before you set out on the trail, you can place an order to have lunch upon your return, and if you happen to visit during high season, you might be able to enjoy some beer brewed on-site by AnnтАЩs son Mick.
