The Neighborhood: Our home is located in the Lagunas area, a scenic and tranquil neighborhood in the southern part of Costa Rica, near the popular coastal town of Dominical known for its surfing, lush rainforests, and vibrant local culture. The neighborhood offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, making it an attractive destination for nature enthusiasts. Immerse yourself in an exceptional vacation experience, relishing diverse outdoor activities, soaking up the tropical sun, and immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the region's flora and fauna. Here are some things you can do while visiting this region: Bird-Watching: Costa Rica is a paradise for bird enthusiasts. Bring your binoculars and explore the rich birdlife in the surrounding rainforests. Keep an eye out for toucans, parrots, and hummingbirds. Stargazing: The clear skies away from urban lights make Lagunas an excellent spot for stargazing. Bring a telescope or simply lie back and enjoy the night sky. Surfing: Dominical is a popular destination for surfers due to its consistent waves. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or a beginner, you can find surf schools and board rentals in the area. Whale and Dolphin Watching: The waters off Dominical are known for hosting a variety of marine life. Consider taking a boat tour for the chance to spot whales and dolphins. The best time for whale watching is generally from December to April. Visiting Nauyaca Waterfalls: Take a horseback riding or hiking tour to the stunning Nauyaca Waterfalls. The journey through the rainforest is as rewarding as the destination, and you can swim in the natural pools at the base of the falls.
