Waterfalls
Nauyaca is a MUST SEE waterfall is within a 30 min drive from our home. It can be a 1/2 day excursion that requires great water shoes or hiking shoes and water.
Lovely short hike where Macaw sightings are almost guaranteed!. The restaurant at the foot of the waterfall serves a delicious tipical dishes for a reasonable prices.

Traveler advice
Book before you go
Sansa flights
There are three ways to arrive to Ojochal; fly Sansa into Palmar Sur or Quepos and have a rented car awaiting you OR rent a car in San Jose and drive down OR book a driver to transport you on the 3 1/2 hour drive. There are wonderful stops along the way, especially a visit to Jose's Crocodile tour in Jaco.
What to pack
Packing for your stay
There are several things that you shouldn't forget. Bring more than one bathing suit, sunglasses, hat and a GREAT pair of water shoes or sandals with threads. I prefer the sandals because I can also use them for hikes to waterfalls and walks on the beach.
