Information About The Trails Grade Of Difficulty Refugio Los Volcanes In Amboro Park
LORO Trail – Moderate to Difficult (3 Hours)
The start of this trail is located 200 meters before reaching the main lodge. Initially, the path through the forest is flat, following the river. During this part of the journey, you have the best chance to see monkeys and parrots. The route then returns to the rocky and steep slope of the southern valley, where you’ll walk while observing rocks covered with bromeliads and many sunbathing lizards. It’s also common to see some condors circling around the reddish cliffs of the valley. The view is beautiful, with dramatic vistas from various viewpoints. The trail continues along the slope back to the main entrance road.
CONDOR Trail – Moderate (2 – 3 Hours) Tours To Refugio Volcanes
This trail starts right next to the restaurant and crosses several rivers before reaching a wide area with huge Bibosi trees. It continues with a fairly demanding 20-minute uphill climb through the humid jungle. The reward is a wonderful panoramic view of the lodge and its surroundings. During the descent, pay attention to the mountains on the other side of the lodge, as it’s very common to see condors soaring there.
AMBORÓ Trail – Moderate to Difficult (3 – 5 Hours)
This trail begins next to the restaurant. The first part follows the route of the Orchid and Coffee trails before delving deeper into the jungle. Be prepared to get your feet wet, depending on the water level of the Elvira River, which you’ll cross multiple times. You might frequently come across traces of larger mammals like pumas and jaguars on the trail. You’ll encounter several incredible waterfalls with natural pools along the way, where you can cool off and even enjoy a picnic. The return to the lodge is along the same route.
ORQUIDEAS Trail – Very Easy (0.5 – 1 Hour)
This short loop starts next to the restaurant and is suitable for all levels. The route crosses the Elvira River several times, making it fun for children who will find various opportunities to play and splash in the water. You can see orchids during the walk, especially between the months of June and November.
TRES CASCADAS Trail – Easy (0.5 – 1 Hour)
This trail begins next to the restaurant and takes you to three beautiful nearby waterfalls. When the water level allows, you can swim in the natural pools.
SIRARI Trail – Moderate (3 Hours)
This fairly flat trail starts at the restaurant. It follows the Orchid Trail before taking a detour that leads towards Amboró National Park. A picturesque waterfall marks the end of this route, an ideal place to take a break before returning.
BOSQUE SECO Trail – Moderate to Difficult (3 – 4 Hours)
The trail starts with a difficult and steep 2-kilometer climb from the main access road to Cafetal. Here, you turn right and venture into the jungle on a narrow path. You’ll be shaded by lush trees for most of the way, with occasional views of the lodge below. Then, in the last section, you’ll descend, following the Elvira River and connecting to the Tres Cascadas Trail, which passes by the waterfalls near the restaurant.
CUMBRE Trail – Very Difficult (4 – 5 Hours)
This trail begins on the main access road and initially follows the Loro Trail. Then, you take a left turn where a steep and demanding 2-hour ascent begins. At the summit, an incredible and dazzling 360° view awaits. This trail is only recommended for individuals in excellent physical condition due to its rigor and difficulty.
