Organized into 16 sections, the trail knits together 25 rural communities and terrain that ranges from beaches to cloud forests. The full hike can take from 11 to 16 days, and along the way, travelers passing through Indigenous areas can hire members of the \u003Ca href=\"https://ticotimes.net/2014/07/19/photos-a-visit-to-a-costa-rican-cabecar-indigenous-community\">Cabécar community\u003C/a> as guides. The trail also traverses national parks and sanctuaries that host dazzling birds like the \u003Ca href=\"https://abcbirds.org/bird/resplendent-quetzal/\">resplendent quetzal\u003C/a>.","Trekkers can camp, book hotels or stay overnight with families, sampling homegrown coffee and chocolate as well as dishes like a variety of gallo pinto made with beans, rice and coconut milk that’s often enjoyed on the Caribbean side of the trail. Local outfitters offer custom itineraries, including accommodations and luggage transfers, and activities like rafting, horseback riding and canoeing — all ways to help support areas off the tourist track.","\u003Cem>— Nora Walsh\u003C/em>"],props:{tags:["Adventure","Nature"],shadow:"top
