Pavones Costa Rica Castillo Hotel

Thanks to deep clear South Pacific Ocean currents and the living coral reefs that inhabit the Golfo Dulce, the Pavones region offers world class scuba diving and snorkeling. Just 10 years ago, Costa Rica was not well known as a world class dive destination, but today the word is out. Many of the waters that surround the Corcovado National Park and the Golfo Dulce are protected from commercial exploitation by Costa Rica and consequently offer a glimpse into a pristine undersea environment. In warm tropical waters the world below the sea is always accessible and something amazing to experience. The best time to visit is during the dry season from February to April. These conditions make for idea water clarity and are best for snorkeling or scuba diving. The Castillo de Pavones is owned and operated by a PADI certified dive instructor with regional expertise that will insure a safe and enjoyable undersea adventure that you will never forget.

Another perfect wave at Pavones

Pavones is among the top two longest left breaking waves in the world. Not only is the wave long, but on most occasions the shelter provided by the Golfo Dulce makes for very nice enjoyable rides. In the winter months through early spring, The swells are smaller but perfect coupled with weeks on end of South Pacific sunshine. This is a great time for people to learn to surf and a time for more experienced surfers to really enjoy some perfect rides through paradise. By the end of the green season in summer, the swells pick up and the surf becomes world class in terms of size and character. Pavones has long been a haven for professionals as well as some fortunate beginners. The combination of a South Pacific current originating in Easter Island, a very deep entrance to the Golfo Dulce, and a sizeable coral reef in front of Pavones make for the perfect ingreedients to create a world class surfing destination.
