A Terrifying Trek Around the Back Roads of Guanacaste, Costa Rica

A very steep laneway going upwards. A sign is posted at the base saying entry prohibited.

We set out to visit Castillo de Lilo, a mountaintop restaurant with breathtaking views, but the journey quickly became a terrifying adventure. With steep, gravel roads and a compact car, we found ourselves stuck—twice—before finally making it to the base, only to be stopped by “No Trespassing” signs.
