Ojochal Vacations

It's a missed chance if you limit your sightseeing to the attractions of Ojochal because the entire region is laced with numerous interesting things to do and see. Isla Violin, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the north, and San Isidro, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the south of Ojochal are worth a visit too.

Approximately 45 miles (72 kilometers) to the north of Ojochal is Cartago, a regional center where you can visit Parque Nacional Volcan Irazu, Monumento Nacional Guayabo and Turrialba Volcano National Park. Parque Nacional Tapanti and Our Lady of the Angels Basilica are good places to visit.

Follow your interests with one of the guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours. There are plenty on offer in and around the Central Pacific Coast area.

World travelers know that regional foods are a good technique to uncover a destination's personality. Local favorite specialties include pargo (red snapper) and ceviche (marinated raw fish), but of course there are many other tasty dishes for foodies.

Win over natives in Central Pacific Coast, by speaking some commonly used Spanish phrases and expressions. Learning how to use just a few simple phrases, such as "¿Querría bailar conmigo?", which is "Would you like to dance with me?", will be sure to make your stay all the more enjoyable. "This gentleman will pay for everything" is another good one know, so try getting your mouth around "Este caballero pagará por todo"

At the end of your adventure in this unique place, say farewell the way Costa Rican's do, with a heartfelt "Adiós."
