    That was a great experience! My wife and I stopped by on our drive up from Manuel Antonio and Dan was awesome giving us a tour.

    He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The butterflies here are beautiful and we were able to see butterflies we’ve never seen before.

    If you have the time make sure to stop by, you won’t regret it!

    This is truly a one of a kind store. The handmade items were all created by Costa Ricans. Beautiful artwork.

    The staff were courteous and knowledgeable. I really wished I had more time!

    This is an abandoned hotel that's overlooking the city of Jaco in Costa Rica. The hotel offers a great view over the Pacific and a leisurely hike up to the hotel along the road that was once meant to bring tourists. The hotel is still there, all built to impress, though apparently there wasn't enough money to finish it. The hike up is impressive and colourful with a wall done in relief with different scenes all the way up. The view from the hotel was awesome, from the many balconies that were built to look over the ocean.

    Recommended to walk up and see the beginning of the sunset, but don't wait too long as you'll be walking down in the dark.

    The beach is great to walk or run down but really for surfers. Playa Herradura, a few kms north is lovely for swimming with some great little beach bars. Take the bus for 330c which picks up all along Pastor Diaz Ave in Jaco starting from the north end on the hour. It takes about 45 minutes then leaves the beach on the hour. You can also take this bus to the point where it does a 3 point turn past the school in Herradura town (before it gets to the beach), and walk the last km to Los Suenos adventure park.

    Discovered this wonderful community center while on a walk. They offer classes in the late afternoon and evening which may or may not be in Enlish.
