La Joya de la Jungla, the
Jewel of the Jungle, is a rustic Treetop Retreat. Set high on a hill,
wafted by gentle sea breezes, and overlooking the Caribbean amid lush
green forests, and elegant palms, La Joya is truly a get away from
the frenetic pace of life today. It is also a welcome change from
the increasingly commercialized atmosphere of many other vacation
destinations.
Though private and secluded, La Joya is in close proximity to a number
of the area's most interesting places and activities.
A fifteen minute walk
along the Rio Cano Negro brings our visitors out on to the world
famous beaches of Costa Rica.
After frolicking in
the warm, turquoise waters of the sea, guests can bathe and rinse
themselves in the cool, clean waters of the river.
Calm blue waters by coral
reefs, palm lined white sand beaches, mangroves and lush green coastal
jungles bursting with life await you.
South of La Joya, lies the
fishing village of Manzanillo (man zan eeo). Walking there affords
one an opportunity to view and savor some of the most beautiful and
interesting scenery in all of Central America.
Or, you may choose to get there by horse, bicycle or car, but either
way make sure you stop at Punta Uva. There you can rent a kayak or
snorkel around the cliffs.
