Trails south of Club O
July 24 2017 20:36
So last trip in April we wandered through the rock wall south of Papagyo, onto the trails/paths that heads toward LeGalion beach. Would anyone know who's property that is?

Great question. The Club O website has pictures that appear to indicate it's their property, but it would be nice to know if it's okay to explore the area nude.

Yes, That is Club O's property. The area that they just recently started advertising as bike trails.

I did walk nude over there in June. I was never there later than 7:30 in the morning.

I asked about that a while back, right after Club O started promoting the bike trails. The consensus was that nude is fine at any time.

That is good to know. I also noticed that they show it as a bike trail on their web page, so we walked it one morning in our Club O attire all the way to the end where you could clearly see LeGalion. We encountered one textile walker who said good morning and didn't seemed phased. It just got me thinking that maybe it wasn't Club O's property. P.S it is a great walk and view over there![rocksmil

Can you point me to the web page that shows the area as a bike trail. I can find a bunch of other maps and such, but nothing that goes beyond the water purification plant. Is that where you picked up the trail?

Christa, on the Club O web site, go to about, resort, then gallery, they show a naked couple with bikes on those trails. I did not see it shown on a map Though. I either saw it on their site or read it somewhere else that they had biking trails as an activity. We entered either through a small parking lot or trail right across from the garden chalet's number 42/43 area. We had to walk towards the ocean and pass though an opening in a stone wall. Then there was a couple options of trails to take. We took the low trail closest to LeGalion and returned up on the high trail that overlooked the ocean. Nice morning walk!

Ahaa! Found it. That requires some complex navigation.

I found it on the virtual tour 360 degree scans with the arrows interspersed throughout.

Yes! I checked that out! If you spin the picture around you can see the opening in the wall. I will be walking that again in April!!!

You used to be able to drive from Le Galion to the wall. I would park there and go to the beach. Last year it was not possible due to a washed out portion of the dirt road. Does anyone know if you can drive to the wall from Le Galion now? I will be there in a few weeks. thanks

sxmbeacher, driving from Le Galion beach there is a small concrete bridge. It comes up to a point in the middle and you drive up and over. Right past the bridge there is a huge shallow crater full of rocks last I saw it. You used to be able to drive through but most of the soil washed away and it was mostly impassable last year. I am arriving on Sept 2nd for a week. I always found it easier to go that way if you wanted to lay out by Papagayo. thanks
