This national park is about a 30-45 min drive down the road from Playa Bejuco (where the wedding is located). It includes a short hike where you can spot sloths, monkeys, and more! It also takes you to a beautiful, secluded beach you can take a dip in! If interested, you can organize a shuttle with Erick's service to take you to and from.
Come to Los Almendros if you want the best dinner/drinks of the trip! They are family-run, smaller restaurant with the freshest fish dishes in the area. If you come on the right day, you'll be able to try the 'whole fish' dish. Location can be a little tricky to find, but it's maybe a 5-10 min drive from Playa Bejuco. 3 houses west of the soccer field (on the road between Super Sol and the soccer field), Esterillos, Costa Rica.
