Another of the beautiful regions of the country is San Gerardo de Dota, only 85 kilometers southwest of the capitol on the Pan-American highway, a natural habitat for many species of flora and fauna, and constitutes an ecological niche where the brilliant quetzal lives throughout the year.

The unequaled beauty of the highland scenery provides the unique opportunity to experience the sounds and secrets of the tropical cloud forest and to discover the wonders of the Costa Rican ecology. San Gerardo de Dota is within the largest extension of protected areas of the country, an area made up of 13 different units which together total 95,000 hectares… highly recommended to nature lovers.
