Surrounding the Property

addition to the spectacular fishing experience, the area
of Costa Rica near the property abounds in activities and
sights to occupy your every moment. There is a lot to do
along this part of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Some
of Costa Rica’s best 
beaches are here, and the rivers
and mountains behind the beaches hold a wealth of activities
for the adventurous traveler.
Quepos
Nearby Quepos is a splendid little seaside
community nestled next to a sparkling bay on the Pacific
Ocean. This area of the Pacific coast has the finest vibrant
turquoise blue waters in all of Costa Rica. It also hosts
the most renowned sports fishing available, and most all
of the record game fish catches have been caught in the
waters off of Quepos. This coastal town, and its twin –
Manuel Antonio, boast a quantity of charming and delightful
restaurants, gift shops, and numerous exquisite hotels.
Manuel
Antonio
The
Manuel Antonio area, especially the 1,700-acre national park,
is ideal for viewing this biodiversity set against a backdrop
of dramatic rocky headlands and dense primary rainforest -
a true testament to the area's rich ecological diversity.
Its secluded beaches, breathtaking views and spectacular rocky
headlands make it one of the most alluring parks in Costa
Rica. Hiking, bird watching, swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling
are all popular pursuits in Manuel Antonio National Park.
Damas
Island
Located just three miles before the town of
Quepos and the resort area of Manuel Antonio National Park,
the estuary of Damas Island opens a door to a world where
animals still live in their natural habitat. Experienced guides
offer opportunities to safely view a variety of native animals
including the rare American crocodile and numerous snakes,
such as boa constrictors. After navigating the canals for
a couple of hours, a stop at the floating restaurant La Tortuga—the
turtle—is almost mandatory. Shell collecting is also
a popular pastime on Isla Damas.
Additional
Nearby Activities
Ride on horseback through the jungles and along
the rivers of the rain forest led by a bilingual guide. Along
the way, you may spot four different species of monkeys, a
three-toed sloth, a coati, and, if you're lucky, maybe even
a cougar or a jaguar.
For
a bit more excitement, go on a white water rafting trip at
one of the many nearby rivers. Or hoist yourself up high into
the tree line and go gliding across the top of the rain forest.
Techniques of cavers and rappellers have been modified to
provide a safe and exciting passage above the forest floor.
Other activities in the Quepos area include
white-water rafting, sea kayaking, SCUBA diving, mountain
biking and waterfall tours, to name a few. Quepos is also
a sport fishing paradise that boasts an abundance of sailfish,
marlin, yellow fin tuna, dorado, wahoo, and amberjack.
