The spectacular 180-degree panorama from this tropical-jungle perch sweeps over the gulf islands of the Nicoya Peninsula to the crescent beaches of Jacó, Herradura and Punta Leona, taking in the majestic mountains. Overlooking a beautiful coastline, the breath taking views bring our country to life. From each side of the mountain, rain forests spread to the sandy, quiet beaches below. The dark, emerald green of this wild, native vegetation contrasts with the blue of the Pacific Ocean. Views of lush tropical rainforests complement some of the most breath taking sunsets you will ever see.
