Three Lodging Options (Hover over the images below for more information)
Playa Negra – Beach and rainforest
Playa Negra stretches as far as the eye can see and is a natural choice for beach strolling and playing in the waves. You can also choose to relax in a beach chair under a parasol with a refreshment from the beach bar. The rainforest grows all the way down to the beach and you can rent a bike and follow the dirt-road a little deeper in. Enveloped in the sounds of the jungle you will fill your senses with delightful smells from wild fruits and flowers, only interrupted by colorful birds, butterflies and the howler monkeys jumping the tree tops above you.
Some of the attractions in the Puerto Viejo area...
The Jaguar rescue center: Meet the rainforest animals. Chocolate factories: Chocolate from the tree to the outlet. Surfing/diving/snorkling: Depending your fancy, explore the warm waters of the Caribbean ocean. Rainforest and indigenous reserve: Leave the ordinary world behind and fill your senses. Canopy: Adrenalin rush guaranteed! Glide over the forest and see it from above. Jungle spa: Caribe specialities, papaya and chocolate body treatments and massage. Horseback riding: Explore the coast by horseback.
