It includes the imposing beaches of Matapalo, as well as a beautiful and accessible waterfall, passing through the virgin forests of Rancho Piro, and finally resting in the middle of the wildlife at this lovely place held by Miguel Sánchez and his family, giving the chance to our visitors share quality time with the locals.
