There is no fee to access this private trail, however the Hotel Rio Rafting has a policy that requires you to visit the trail with a guide. This is to ensure your safety and guarantee your enjoyment. The guide will cost you between 8 and 12 dollars per group, depending on the size of your party. I should add that the payment is directly for the guide, so you should feel you are helping the community! You can hire the guide directly at the hotel. Please take note that the Rio Rafting Hotel Trail is not an easy hike. There are some steep climbs that will test your physical condition!<\/p>\n

If you are set on hiking the Rio Rafting Hotel Trail, just visit the hotel, they will arrange for your guide. Make sure you bring some water with you, as you will need. If you are a birder, make sure you bring your binoculars with you, as there are many birds to be seen! The Cangrejal River Valley is outstanding for birdwatching. A recent bird count spotted over 75 bird species in the trail! Plan on spending between 1 \u00bd and 2 hours on this trail.<\/p>\n
