The Natural Lodge Caño Negro is 16 miles (25 kilometers) away from the town center of Upala. Another place to stay is the La Anita Rainforest Ranch, which is positioned 15 miles (25 kilometers) away. Two more options close by are the Casitas Tenorio B&B along with the Heliconias Lodge and Rainforest.

When you have got to know Upala, set out to unveil the many other delights of the Northern Plains area. Check out Northern Plains's traditional villages, craft workshops and open-air markets and don't forget to photograph its forests, lakes and active volcanos. Common activities in this particular area of Costa Rica include hiking and shore fishing.

60 miles (93 kilometers) to the southeast of Upala, you'll find Aguas Zarcas, which is home to Aguas Zarcas Church and Aquas Zarcas Square. When you want to spend a night or two in Aguas Zarcas, check out the rooms at the Hotel El Tucano Resort & Thermal Spa and Termales del Bosque. Alternatively, you could consider staying at El Castillo, 40 miles (61 kilometers) southeast of Upala, where you'll find the Arenal Vista Lodge and Hotel Castillo del Arenal. If you're staying in El Castillo, make sure you visit the Butterfly Conservatory and Costa Rica Sky Adventures.

Before saying your farewells to Northern Plains, be sure you get to see a thrilling game. Get to Tronadora Arena, found to the south of Upala. Visitors who are interested in finding accommodation not too far away, book in the Hotel Puerto San Luis or Hotel Cielo Azul Resort.
