What people say

"EN: If you feel sporty enough you can rent a bike and ride it to the beach. It takes about 25 minutes by bike. Bike hire costs around $10 for the day. If the bike isn't for you, don't hesitate to take a taxi. The route is well worth the effort, as it takes you via the road through large jungle canopies. There will probably even be howler monkeys in the trees. First stop: playa Chiquita, with turquoise water and palm trees it is a nice place to swim. Second stop: playa punta uva, the sand is very soft, and the palm trees are two meters from the water, it's heavenly. If you go to the right side of the beach you can also walk to the Mirador, it's worth it. Third stop: on the other side of the cove you can also go to Playa Grande punta uva, less known but also worth it. You can bring your own picnic, but there are plenty of restaurants right on the beach. FR : Si vous vous sentez suffisamment sportif, vous pouvez louer un vélo et vous rendre à la plage. Le trajet dure environ 25 minutes. La location d'un vélo coûte environ 10 dollars pour la journée. Si le vélo ne vous convient pas, n'hésitez pas à prendre un taxi. L'itinéraire en vaut la peine, car il vous fait passer par la route à travers de vastes étendues de jungle. Il y aura probablement même des singes hurleurs dans les arbres. Premier arrêt : playa Chiquita, avec son eau turquoise et ses palmiers, c'est un endroit agréable pour se baigner. Deuxième arrêt : playa punta uva, le sable est très doux, et les palmiers sont à deux mètres de l'eau, c'est paradisiaque. Si vous allez du côté droit de la plage, vous pouvez également marcher jusqu'au Mirador, cela en vaut la peine. Troisième étape : de l'autre côté de la crique, vous pouvez aussi aller à Playa Grande Punta Uva, moins connue mais qui vaut aussi la peine d'être visitée. Vous pouvez apporter votre propre pique-nique, mais il y a de nombreux restaurants sur la plage. "

"Playa Punta Uva is a beautiful white sand beach with turquoise colored water. There are breathaking viewpoints along with a small trail where you are likely to see sloths and monkeys. The trail is a short walk, about 15-20 minutes. To get there, enter through the entrance called"Punta Uva Adventures" or "Sloth's Point". Things to do there include: - Kayak: You can kayak into the ocean or up to Punta Uva river - Snorkel: There is a spot near the view point and you can actually swim up to the coral reef! - Swimming - Walk to viewpoints - Sunbathe"
"Playa Punta Uva is a beautiful beach located nearby Puerto Viejo. I truly recommend going by bike from town to here. The beach is touristic, but is beautiful and full of lush vegetation. In here I saw a sloth, so you have chances to see wild animals. There is also a river, and you can rent a kayak to go through it. "
