In 2024, we started offering Camino de Costa Rica hiking trips. As we developed this new program, we found that many people wanted to hike the trail without a guide, similar to what you might see elsewhere such as the Pacific Crest Trail. One aspect of the PCT that is significantly different than the Camino de Costa Rica is where you stay each night. On the PCT, it’s common to figure out lodging on the fly and camp wherever you end up. Of course some nights you’ll have a roof over your head, but in the end, you spend many nights in a tent. The Camino de Costa Rica, it’s the inverse. Many of the experiences focus on the cultural side of Costa Rica, and that means a lot of your lodging will be with a roof over your head. That comes in the form of homestays, lodges, cabins and more, and always, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the host family, often invited to share a meal, hang out, and chat.
This personal touch is a big reason why the Camino de Costa Rica is a trail that’s hard to compare to anything else. It was built specifically in mind to cross the country in areas that have not exploded with tourism, allowing you to experience the authentic side of Costa Rica. And this is also where planning a hike, without a guide service, can be challenging. The vast majority of these hiker-friendly accommodations don’t have a website or even photos of their accommodations. They may only have a few rooms and everything runs on WhatsApp and in Spanish. We wanted to help with this, so we took all the data out there and organized it in a simple Camino de Costa Rica accommodation booking website. The site allows you to browse, research, and send a booking request. You can apply filters for hot showers, internet, meals, trail distance and more.
We quietly launched the website in October of 2024. Since then, word has gotten out and it is now the go-to option for making Camino reservations for those hiking the trail. We still have a lot of work to do as we improve the service and can’t wait to see it build and grow as it mirrors the popularity of the Camino itself. Thinking of hiking the trail yourself? We’re here to help.

Holanda, voy a estar en costa rica desde el 28 de jenero hasta 15
de Ferrero e gostaria de hacer el camino de costa rica en mi proprio ritmo (no me incomoda caminar com outros senderistas pero quiero respectar mi ritmo). No estoy segura de que lo harei todo (los 280km) poderia saltar algunas de las partes menos interessantes y con mas carretera (prefiro senderos). No se por onde empezar e que etapas son imperdibles. Tambien necessito apoio logístico para hacer las reservaciones de alojamiento para todo el transcurrido e para transporte de la mochila de etapa para etapa porque no puedo cargar pesos.
Poderian ayudar-me?
murchas gracias
