On site...
You can enjoy many activities without leaving Villas Las Flores: swimming in our large pool or the warm Pacific waters, beachcombing, snorkeling, turtle watching, and birding (64 species have been identified at the Villas). You can also watch your neighbors, who might just include a few white-faced monkeys!
A little farther, but worth it...
If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, La Fortuna (at the foot of the active volcano “Arenal,” adjacent to beautiful Lake Arenal) makes a wonderful 2- to 3-day excursion. And don’t miss an afternoon and evening in the Tabacon Hot Springs. Monte Verde is a must see on any Costa Rica trip—go by tour bus or four-wheel drive.

PARRITA AREA . . . |
| |
|
| |
Nestled between Nicaragua and Panama, Costa Rica is flanked by the Caribbean Ocean on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Its topography varies from seashore to 10,000-foot mountains.
Costa Rica has set aside over 20 percent of its territory as biological preserve or national park. This tropical paradise is home to over 800 species of birds... as well as to 35,000 permanent U.S. residents!
Parrita, a small working-class town, straddles the Parrita River about 2.5 miles inland from Villas Las Flores. The town and Villas lie on the Pacific coast, about halfway between Jaco and Manuel Antonio National Parks.
For those without wheels, transportation is available to and from Parrita. If you prefer a bit of exercise, you can use the Villas Las Flores bicycles.
There are several eating establishments on the beach, a 3- to 4-minute walk from the Villas. Parrita also has a number of good, reasonably priced restaurants. Quepos and Manuel Antonio offer a multitude of excellent restaurants.
