Location:
Located along the newly paved Costaneros Highway, Uvita is south of the colorful surfer town of Dominical and north of Ojochal. Casa Miramar is a perfect headquarters for jumping to the Osa Peninsula by sea or by road, and to explore points north or inland. You'll find that friendly Uvita is a thriving village where you can stay close to home and be thoroughly entertained. Choose from a variety of sports and sightseeing tours including a 'not to miss' horseback tour through the jungle to a waterfall followed by a gallop along the ocean.
The Village of Uvita:
There is a wide selection of restaurants in the area, one of the best just within walking distance from the house!! There is a good variety at the grocery store, tour guides, unspoiled beaches, all mixed with locals riding on horseback down the main street. That sense of 'back in time' blends with the modernity of local conveniences, including our local internet bakery with yummy desserts where you're bound to run into some very interesting people.
Wildlife from your front porch...:
A birdwatchers paradise, be amazed as large birds catch the draft spirals and soar overhead. Resident hawks and falcons perch in nearby trees. You may have the treat to see a Morpho butterfly skip along the garden flowers. Mornings are filled with the sound of song birds as you sit to enjoy your first cup of coffee.
Though Casa Miramar is not on a 'monkey highway', you will hear the howlers in the distance and occasionally see the white faced monkeys in the area. It's not unusual to encounter sloths and other small animals in the neighborhood.
