You step off the air-conditioned van into a warm, humming forest where humidity clings to your shirt and birds punctuate the canopy. The Tenorio–Miravalles corridor spreads uphill and away, a green seam between volcanic ridgelines; a guide waves you toward a soft trail that creaks underfoot while a slow-moving sloth watches from a bromeliad.
