Pavones Costa Rica Castillo Hotel

The ancient hardwood trees of the Pavones region and tropical rainforest ecosystems running down the sides of mountains set the scene for what is known as a canopy tour. Massive indigenous hardwoods slope the hillsides while many meters above, horizontal branches create a dense canopy of treetops. A Zipline canopy ride is perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. This activity is something very exciting and unique that is not available many places on earth. Along the way you will “zip” along the tree line canopy that local monkeys, sloths, and birds call home. The Castillo de Pavones has extensive experience in providing guests with the best canopy tours in the Osa Peninsula and Pavones regions.

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.
