Morning Bliss: Wake Up to the Jungle Symphony

Mornings at Escaleras Escape are like no other. As the first rays of sunlight peek over the horizon, the jungle comes alive with a gentle symphony of birds, including colorful toucans, and even the occasional chatter of monkeys swinging through the trees. Imagine waking up in the Toucan Cottage or Good Day Chalet to this serene chorus and stepping out onto your private terrace, where you’re greeted by a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean.

Breakfast: A Taste of Costa Rica

Start your day with a delicious breakfast, whether you’re preparing something fresh in your kitchen with local ingredients or heading to nearby Kunjai Cafe for an incredible meal. Treat yourself to a cup of Costa Rican coffee, some ripe tropical fruit, and perhaps a slice of local bread or pastry. This leisurely breakfast is a moment to soak in the magic of your surroundings and plan the day ahead.

Morning Adventure: Waterfalls, Beaches, and Wildlife

With the cool morning air on your side, it’s the perfect time to set out for an adventure. Escaleras Escape is ideally located for exploring some of Costa Rica’s most famous waterfalls. Take a hike to Nauyaca or Uvita Falls, where you can swim in crystal-clear pools surrounded by lush greenery. If the beach is calling, head down to Playa Dominical for some early surfing or to take a peaceful stroll along the sands of Playa Hermosa. For nature enthusiasts, a visit to Marina Ballena National Park offers a chance to spot dolphins or even a humpback whale if the season is right!

Afternoon Relaxation: Enjoy the Comfort of Escaleras Escape

After an active morning, it’s time to relax back at Escaleras Escape. Take a few hours to unwind on the terrace, where you can enjoy a book or simply watch the birds and butterflies flit through the jungle. The natural surroundings are alive with sounds and colors, and the ocean view serves as a stunning backdrop. If you feel like a low-key exploration, a gentle walk around the property can reveal fascinating local flora, from towering bamboo to vibrant heliconias.

Exciting Excursions: Adventures Await

For those who want to add some thrill to their day, the afternoon is the perfect time for one of the area’s exciting excursions. Try a Jungle ATV Tour through rugged terrain, a Canopy Tour that lets you soar through the treetops, or a visit to Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary to learn about and observe rescued wildlife up close. The more adventurous might opt for white-water rafting with Costa Rica Explorer or kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding tours with Pineapple Tours. There’s something for everyone, and these experiences offer a closer look at the rich biodiversity Costa Rica has to offer.

Sunset Magic: Unwind with a View

As the sun begins to dip toward the horizon, get ready for one of the most magical parts of your stay: the sunset. Whether you’re watching from the terrace or from a nearby beach, like Playa Dominicalito or Playa Linda, the view is simply breathtaking. The sky fills with shades of pink, orange, and purple as the day winds down, a perfect moment to reflect on the adventures you’ve had.

Dinner: Local Flavors and Culinary Delights

Evenings are for indulging in the flavors of Costa Rica. You can choose to prepare a home-cooked meal in your own kitchen using fresh ingredients from a local market, or you can explore some nearby restaurants. Scala is a must-try spot for local fare and fusion cuisine that highlights the best of Costa Rican ingredients.
