San Gerardo de Dota
We are 53 miles south of San José, in the San Gerardo de Dota Valley. The view reaches across the mountains, and the gardens bring the birds right up to the restaurant.
Quetzals are most common from October to January. Hummingbirds, tanagers, and woodpeckers visit throughout the year.
