Pavones Costa Rica Castillo Hotel

A blue bird day on the point

The best thing you can do when visiting Pavones is relax and unwind.  Just sitting under a palm tree out by the beach listening to the sounds of the sea and watching surfers take the ride of their life, could be exactly what you need.  There is so much to take in when you are in this environment that silence is golden.  Everywhere you look there is so much to see, both far and near.  With seabirds diving on schools of anchoveta in the distance as the afternoon sun turns the water to a golden shimmer, your mind can reconnect with a peace and harmony that will last long after you leave the South Pacific.

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.

Costa Rica is said to hold 5% of all bio-diversity on the planet.   More than 25% of the nation’s land is dedicated to preservation.  In this bio-diverse world of life, there is a vast abundance of tropical flora and fauna.  Our region borders a land filled with all that you would expect to find in a tropical rainforest that meets the Pacific Ocean.  There are streams, waterfalls, rivers, active volcanoes, ancient canopy topped forests,  and many species of exotic wildlife.  Some of the most beautiful flowers and trees in the world are native to the Pavones region where everday is a new adventure.  Much of this can be enjoyed in peace due to the lower numbers of biting insects that you find in this region of Costa Rica compared to some of the other topographical locations.  This unique ecosystem also makes for some of the best bird watching found anywhere.
