    The Finca Cántaros biological Park is a site that everyone should visit. Archaeological site which gives us a broader view of the indigenous culture that inhabited the area. Excellent views of San Vito de Coto Brus. Your super friendly hostess.

    The gardens are fairly compact and don't take too long to walk around. However, they are beautiful and the range of plants is stunning.  more »

    A great place for local crafts -- and the gardens are astoundingly beautiful. Gail is a wonderful artist herself, and she is warm and welcoming.  more »

    A beautiful public park with many roofed ranchos, a lake, well-maintained trails and artistically planted gardens. The best view of San Vito!
