8 days in Rio Hato Itinerary

Close to many popular natural attractions, Rio Hato provides a good place to base yourself during a wider exploration of the area.

Relax by the water at Playa Santa Clara and El Palmar Beach. Get out of town with these interesting Rio Hato side-trips: Playa Punta Chame (in Punta Chame), Hot Spring (Pozos Termales) (in Hato Viejo) and El Valle de Anton (Butterfly Haven, El Nispero Zoo and Botanical Garden, &more). There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Palmer Beach, tour the pleasant surroundings at Farallon Butterflies, head outdoors with Leading Adventures, and play a few rounds at Vista Mar Golf Beach & Marina.
