A haven for birdwatchers and hikers awaits visitors around the town of San Gerardo de Dota, huddled up against the roaring Talamanca Mountain Range. Nestled

in the Savegre River Valley, tourism hasn't quite hit this quaint settlement which provides quick access to the recently named Los Quetzales National Park

"There are very few restaurants and shops in San Gerardo. We mostly ate at Hotel Suria (excellent food), but we also walked to one restaurant (Cafe Kahawai?) that was good. The main attractions of San Gerardo are birdwatching, fishing and hiking. I felt that 2 or 3 days was more than enough to see the main trails and birds. "

"Tucked away, it was amazing for nature lovers, however it was very difficult to get anywhere but the hotel. The restaurant had decent food, but was amazingly accommodating to me, packing a lunch for me specifically during breakfast so I could hike all day. With the seclusion, however, comes a night of self-entertainment mostly."
