Yes, it is a demanding trecking indeed. Anyway you can enjoy the landscape and go ahead until you can do that. Then you can stay there waiting for your your group or going back following the sake path.

Sur la rivière Chollin à La Fortuna

Hello, the párk is a great natural attraction, you can walk alone without danger you can get a map and all the road is well marked and is in both languages spanish and english. enjoy and pura vida.

Hi, we booked our tour months in advance from Viator. Enjoy!

You can get anywhere without a car there are mopeds and bicycles to rent if you wish. It can also be done on foot. Anything is a taxi LOL even the haywagon. If you ask a local how do I het there dont be surprised id they arrange it or know someone who will take you. Very helpful friendly and safe. Offered many rides tipped and all good. Often shared a story or a beer or wine with locals.

We didn't have a guide so i am unsure. Although it is a jungle-the chances of seeing an animal like that are slim to none. The animals have learned where the trails are so they steer clear, they dont want you to see them nor do they really care to see you. Seeing a cat isnt impossible but you'll have a hard time finding anything else other then birds, a few butterflies and small geckos.

The park is just walking trail, no additional activities inside. When you pay to enter the park, the entrance fee also gives you admission to the peninsula down the road if you wanted to stop there. There are also walking trails at Arenal Observatory Lodge that are great as well-if not better then the national park but in a completely different way-i suggest doing both.

You can do many hikes on your own. A guide will help you spot wildlife you'd easily overlook, but most of the trails are open to the public. Some require fees.
