Chocolate tour......... Waterfall and family arts! The owner of our hotel, Alex, super nice guy! Gave us an itinerary for today including the cheaper chocolate tour a beautiful waterfall and an art shop that was not to be missed.

Next stop was the Sparkling waterfall....... With a...

Puerto Viejo South of Cahita is Puerto Viejo and we decided to drive down there today to have a bit of a beach day. The beaches were really nice and there were not so many tourists.
