Quepos/Costa Rica

Comments

In Quepos you will find a bevy of opportunities for experiencing the 'pure life' of Costa Rica. The town is small therefore making it a great place to walk around. From the outer edges, you can walk to the pier in about 20 minutes, taking into consideration that you will be wandering in and out of souvenir shops! The town's residents are friendly and will go out of their way to point you in the right direction should you happen to get disoriented. Quepos has long been a hotspot for fishermen interested in rolling out over the waves and fishing for marlin and sailfish. The marina boasts state-of-the-art boats run by top-notch operators. If you're on the pier at sunset you'll see several boats coming in after a day of fishing. Just look at the smiles of the passengers as they disembark and you'll know they had a good day! Near the oceanside, you'll find several restaurants serving up tasty seafood dishes. There are also a few bars where you can enjoy you're favorite cocktail while listening to good music. Both travelers and locals, hit the streets after sunset and walk around looking in shop windows or grabbing a bite to eat. Quepos lies at the foot of a small hill and the road leading out of it south towards Manuel Antonio winds up and over the hill. Along this route, you will find an abundance of hotels, restaurants and tour operators. There is one restaurant in particular that boasts a terrace where you can look out from the hilltop over the ocean. It is a great place to watch the sunset and have a bite to eat. Another small café offers Internet services so you can catch up on the latest in news or send e-mail to family and friends (probably boasting about your location!). Many of the hotels are situated on large properties that extend into forest. For a small fee, you can enter the grounds and go for a hike along trails looking for the ubiquitous sloth or a chattering troop of titi monkeys. The activities available in the area include horseback riding, kayaking, birdwatching and trekking. There are several good operators that offer daily outings and need only a reservation in order to ensure you're included. Even when walking or driving along the road, keep your eyes open because chances are you'll spot either capuchin monkeys or sloths in the surrounding trees. Of course, if it's wildlife you're interested in, then head out over the hill and go to Manuel Antonio. You won't regret it.
