Maniniholo Dry Cave, On the North shore of the island 

Maniniholo Dry Cave (Maniniholo means "swimming Manini fish") is about 300 yards deep, and reaches to a small exit hole on the side of the mountain. The cave interior used to be larger than now, before a 1957 tsunami half-filled it with sand. To get there, go to Ha'ena Beach Park on Route 560. Look for the cave on your left.

Costa Rican Tree House

Will that be the Frog or the Monkey? Or perhaps the Sloth or the Toucan?

These are just a few of the names for some of the tree houses you can stay in while exploring luscious Costa Rica. They are located in Santa Clara, San Carlos, Costa Rica. Only 2 hours from San Jose and you will be immersed in the jungle ready to relax and explore.

 

"We have six tree houses (each very private) on 10 acres and we are surrounded by a 70-acre wildlife refuge with a waterfall, pools to swim and a beautiful river....Lots of birds and wildlife on the property. A full and delicious breakfast is served each morning in our rancho. We offer a night hike with Rolando free of charge and it's a great time.

The Toucan, Sloth and Frog tree houses are all private and very cozy with a loft for the kids or adventurous adults. The Monkey and Hummingbird tree houses are both private with one level and much larger. The Yiguirro tree house is our most luxurious and private tree house. All tree houses offer rustic yet comfortable accommodations. Each tree house has air conditioning, warm-water showers, a refrigerator, safe and a large deck to relax and enjoy the rain forest. All accommodations are on the same property and are within a short walk of one another." ~Tree Houses Hotel Costa Rica.
