Indómitos Café & Bar
Vegetarian restaurant
👍👍 Hands down one of my favorite spots. This place did not only provide exceptional friendly service by staff and the owner, but their food had me going from brunch to dinner! In fact, this was my last true dinner in Costa Rica and I regret I didn't find this place sooner! Vegetarian options and the...

Eco Chontales Waterfall
Tourist attraction
👍👍 You must need a car to get there, from the parking have to walk to the magic, but don't worry is a nice trail, not complicated and just takes around 20 minutes (maybe less).
I was amazed at the first waterfall, the cool water sprays on your face so good (the highest one) then walked down to the othe...

Cloudbridge Nature Reserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Amazing hikes through the cloud forest. Climbing Chirripó was a bit out of my league, but this place gives you a very impressive experience of the area. Some of the trails I did were pretty strenuous, but some are very easy. They are all very much worth it. Lots of waterfalls, rivers, and wildlife!

Baru Waterfalls -Catarata Baru (Nauyaca)

👍👍 Great day trip...hike is not for faint of heart, 1 hour up, 1 hour down. Playtime at the falls worth it! Horseback is an option if you book ahead and show by 745.

Quebradas Biological Center
Tourist attraction
👍👍 I am a nature freak, and I loved this place. I only made it to the first waterfall because i was with my grandma and great uncle who are in their 70s. The path is pretty easy to travel, and you get to see some beautiful things. It was only $4 dollars to get it. (I dont think I'm supposed to put the...

Cabinas Los Laureles
Hotel
👍👍 My husband and I had a fantastic time at Los Laureles! The waitress, Cindy, was great, patiently explaining all the food, dessert and drink options available for dinner. She even offered to make special "vegan versions" of their most popular dishes, which I greatly appreciated. I had the chickpea/...

Nauyaca Waterfall Nature Park
Tourist attraction
👍 So, this entrance is an adventure park, not the hike entrance. It cost 28$ with shuttle on the way back from the waterfall and 38$ for shuttle both ways. The walk to the waterfall only took 40min at a slow pace, but you do t have a choice for the way back, you have to take the shuttle. Really cool e...

Cascada El Pavón
Tourist attraction
👍👍 This is a really nice waterfall only a couple of kilometers off of national Route 34 (Carretera Pacifica Fernández). The road to the waterfall is gravel, but you do not need a 4 x 4. This gravel road is south of Ojochal. You can park your car at the trailhead and then walk approximately 50 meters...

👍👍 Landed at Soda Ranchito Doña Maria and bellied up as the only customer around 11:15am. By 11:45, all but a couple tables were available and it was clear this was an absolute local favorite. After our hearty and satisfying casado, agua de sandia, y empanada we understood, you must come back. Gracious...
