What did we do today?
- Walked the trails at Refugio Nacional Gandoca-Manzanillo
- Snorkeled at Manzanillo Beach
Meals: we made our own breakfast and ate dinner at Pura Gula in Playa Coccles
I was nervous about visiting Gandoca-Manzanillo. It is beautiful, but when we were there in 2019 the hilly trail was a slippery, muddy nightmare. It was a delightful surprise this time when we were able to walk 3 km in, as far as Playa Paulo Mena, on almost completely dry trails.
If the trails are dry it's a pretty easy walk. The first part of the trail to the Mirador is a flat hike under the trees. Past the Mirador it is all up and down under the shade of trees: a light hike when it's dry, but when it is wet and muddy it is not fun.
After our hike, we snorkeled at Playa Manzanillo where there is a small reef.
Reviews
Pura Gula Restaurant: Pura Gula was another restaurant win. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Make sure you make a reservation as we saw people get turned away because they were full.
