As you gain altitude, the wind, fog, and landscape will accompany you until you reach 3,491 metres above sea level, on one of the country's most iconic hills. Beyond the adventure, this place holds deep historical importance, being a key step and natural setting that is part of Costa Rica's memory and identity.
