Natural beauty is the major draw of this area, particularly for those looking to hike in Parque Internacional La Amistad or along the popular Sendero Los Quetzales. Visitors will get more out of the hikes with the help of a naturalist guide; it also greatly improves the chances of spotting quetzals.
Those with extra time should consider a visit to the impressive Finca Dracula orchid farm. The horse, strawberry, and flower farms are also worth a quick visit.
