AREA & ACTIVITIES
Hotel Villas Gaia is situated where the mountains come down to the sea in the region called Fila Costeña. This biologically diverse region is surrounded by some of Costa Rica's most famous natural attractions: the vast wilderness of Corcovado National Park, the protected waters of Ballena Marine Park, Caño Island and the Rio Terraba- Sierpe extensive mangrove ecosystem.
The region is a bird watcher's paradise (450 counted species!!!) and has one of Central America's last stands of magnificent coastal rain forest. Miles of deserted beaches to the north offer abundant opportunities for swimming, surfing, kayaking and exploring. The village of Ojochal is 1 kilometer South of Hotel Vilas Gaia and is populated by Costa Ricans and foreigners alike.
There is no 'touristy' atmosphere and the impression of down-to-earth living and community- wide friendliness can be felt travelers wanting a real cultural experience. The Costa Rican owned and operated waterfall and gardens in Ojochal make for a lovely excursion from Hotel Vilas Gaia. The surroundings of the village are steep high mountains coming down to the sea, cloaked with rainforest. There is a nice river that winds its way through Ojochal on its way to the sea at Playa Tortuga.
