Hike light. Go further.

The Camino de Costa Rica is 280 kilometers of rainforest, mountains, and remote terrain. Carrying a full pack across all 16 stages is brutal — and completely unnecessary.

This package transfers your luggage between every stage of the trail, so your bag arrives at your next lodging before you do. You carry only what you need for the day: water, snacks, a rain layer, and your camera.

No weight on your shoulders. No logistics to figure out. Just the trail.

What's included

  • Daily luggage transfer between all 16 stages of El Camino de Costa Rica
  • Coordination handled entirely by URRITREK — no arrangements needed on your end
  • Works with any lodging — whether you booked with us or independently
  • Available for solo hikers and groups of up to 6

Pricing

Low season $600 USD — fixed price for 1 up to 6 hikers
High season $900 USD — fixed price for 1 up to 6 hikers

This package is priced per group, not per person. Whether you're hiking solo or with up to 6 people, the price stays the same. Split it among your group and it becomes even better value.

A non-refundable deposit of $100 USD + VAT is required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance is due before your first stage.

Who is this for?

This is for the self-sufficient hiker — someone doing the Camino de Costa Rica independently, who has already sorted their lodging and just needs the one thing that makes a multi-day thru-hike dramatically more comfortable: not carrying everything on your back every single day.

Considerations for Long-Distance Hiking

Physical Fitness

Hiking long trails requires good physical fitness (we can make some accommodations, don't worry), including a strong aerobic base and leg strength. The average hiker covers 16-24 miles (26-39 kilometers) per day, though most people limit themselves to 15 miles (24 kilometers) to avoid excessive stress.

Nutrition and Hydration

Proper nutrition and hydration are essential. Trail snacks and meals should balance carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carry enough water and consider water-treatment supplies.

Weather and Terrain Considerations

Terrain and weather significantly impact hiking. In hot weather, focus on hydration and electrolytes at least a week before hiking. Costa Rican terrain, especially in forested areas, can be muddy, so sturdy hiking boots are necessary.

Health Check

Before a long hike, a health check is advisable to ensure there are no underlying health issues that could be exacerbated by the physical exertion.
