OUR VISION
A journey of adventure for the entire world, from the Atlantic to the Pacific through rural communities in Costa Rica, where hikers will find adventure, different ecosystems, indigenous cultures, new gastronomic experiences, extraordinary flora and fauna variations, forests, valleys and precious rivers. We want to see the small towns of Costa Rica grow in a harmonious way with their history and environment.

OUR GOALS
1
Providing hikers a route apt for a wide variety of hikers that includes many unique experiences appreciating the natural and cultural attractions of Costa Rica by means of a backcountry trail that unites the Atlantic with the Pacific Oceans.
2
Ensure accurate information, signage and maintenance of the route as well as the values and standards of a long distance international route.
3
Help the development of small rural businesses with a commitment to sustainability through our role as Community Fund.
4
Support the sustainable development in small communities, through support to artesans, local guides, and strengthening community organizations
5
Attracting visitors to the outdoors to appreciate the mountains, forests, valleys, and villages of Costa Rica, appreciating its biodiversity.
6
Promoting the protection of biodiversity and contributing to
environmental education.
WHY THE TRAIL?
At the moment in Costa Rica tourism is a great product, nevertheless the greater beneficiaries are only the populations in the two coasts, leaving the small rural towns with little profit
Costa Rica is a green country, in the pursuit of carbon neutrality, where visitors seek to know the different ecosystems and natural wealth of this small nation. The challenge of walking from one ocean to another would be an attraction to a large number of international and national tourists.
