11.Cloud Forest Wildlife Hike 8:30am (Minimum of 2 people required )

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 64 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $35

Review of Boquete’s Cloud Forest Wildlife Hike, including trails, guides, wildlife, price, fitness needs, transport, and booking advice.

“This was a reasonable walk but it isn't really a hike. It's a very gentle stop start walk where you are only really looking for sloths, monkeys or quetzal (we had to find other birds etc ourselves). Our trip had a slightly more senior group so it was frustratingly slow at times. If you're a fit active hiker wanted to see plenty, I'd look elsewhere but if you want a slow amble, it might be just the ticket.”
