After leaving Quepos we went to Jaco – a so called locals beach, but also one of the best surf spots of Costa Rica.
Our second day in Jaco we went on an ATV tour. The owner was from San Francisco and had bought the property with the expectation of developing high end condo’s on it. The country is definitely expat friendly. You find them everywhere. He had bought in 2007 and when the real estate market crashed in the U.S. it brought the rest of the world down as well.
So, being the entrepreneurial type, he converted the property to horse back tours, atv tours, zip lining, and leased land to local farmers. There was a waterfall that you ride ATV’s to and they serve you fresh pineapple – cut on the property with fresh limes that we pick on the way.
The kids had a blast driving the ATV’s on the trail back and it was a good morning excursion.
Our digs at Jaco were the nicest – luxury condo only a block from the ocean and the towns’ favorite locals restaurant. The water wasn’t nearly as nice as Manuel Antonio, the kids and I called it chocolate milk water.
