Why Blog?/Day trip

The idea behind blogging is to share information and experiences. Our goal is to give our clients useful information about the Atenas area, and share our experiences here involving everyday life. Having said that, today's blog will be about a recent trip to "Los Chorros" waterfalls, in our neighboring town of Grecia. We will also share a nice listing that will get your attention!


Grecia is located about 20 minutes northeast of Atenas. It is famous for three things: The red metal church, sugar cane, and being know as the cleanest city in Central America. Just out of town on the back road between Grecia and Alajuela, you will find the village of Tacares de Grecia, and "Los Chorros". Los Chorros translated in English is roughly (the stream or jet of water). This public park has great hiking to offer, with areas for picnics, and swimming. The trails are very well marked, and between 30-45 minutes you arrive at one of the most beautiful waterfalls with hundreds of little "chorros" coming out of the mountian side. At the base of the cascade, you find a large natural pool for swimming, along with other small pools along the river. If you are feeling adventurous you can rappel down the large waterfall with a group or private guide. We recommend the guys at: http://www.bungeecostarica.com/. We have not done this yet, but it is on the "list". We hope you will discover this piece of paradise, and feel sure once you do,you will return over and over again like we have!
