The Río Ora and its tributaries, with their fresh, clean water, are perfect for swimming, and their river beaches are perfect for relaxing with a good barbecue, or for a romantic night by a campfire under the magical starry sky of the Río Ora Valley.
A particularly beautiful spot for swimming and bathing is "La Angostura," a spot in the middle reaches of the Río Ora, where a natural channel up to three meters deep has formed within basalt rocks. "La Angostura" is only about 4.5 km from the apartments. We recommend hiking up the river to the "Angostura" early in the morning (about 2-3 hours depending on your walking speed). You can then refresh yourself with a swim and bathe and walk back across the road (just over an hour). A morning river walk is the perfect opportunity to observe a wide variety of birds and, with a little luck, other animals such as deer, wild boars, pizotes (proboscis monkeys), howler/capuchin monkeys, anteaters, or even smaller wild cats.
There are also numerous hiking opportunities in the beautiful mountain landscape of El Carmen de Nandayure. Many mountain biking tours can also be found in the area. The nearby beaches offer excellent surfing (Playa Camaronal is an ideal spot year-round for advanced surfers). Fishing is also possible here. We are happy to organize boat trips, horseback riding excursions, sea turtle watching, canopy tours (tours where you glide from tree to tree through the forest on steel cables using special equipment), lake/river kayaking, sport fishing, and other activities.
