Tip

Start early to beat the heat — the climb is steep and sweaty — and combine it with Bonanza waterfall on the same trail network; locals from the Dos Brazos tourism association can guide you.

Be careful

Unmarked forest trails: carry water and download a map, or go with a local guide.

Getting there

Dos Brazos is about 25 minutes from Puerto Jiménez on a flat gravel road (no 4×4 needed); the lookout is on the trails west of the village.
