¿Qué Pasa en Quepos? – February 2017
Bienvenidos. Welcome to Quepolandia, we are here to make sure you have an unforgettable trip. So get out and enjoy being away from those freeeezing temperatures. Whether hiking a national parks or sitting on our wonderful beaches don’t forget to hydrate ( NOT cervezas) and sunblock, sunblock, sunblock…
A lot is happening here in February. For all you rafters the class 5 Chorro is now open so have Quepoa Expeditions guide you to a spectacular adventure. Our rivers are as magical as the beaches and should not be missed. Catch the Super Bowl, Feb 5th, at Hawg n Bill on the beach, Sanchos on the mountain and Marina Pez Vela will have it on the BIG screen in Quepos. Don’t forget movie night under the stars at the marina. A great night out for the whole family and it is free. Also at the Marina…check out the Quepos Billfish Cup, Feb 2-4.
Time to start thinking of that “special” person, Valentine’s Day is almost here. So make your reservations at one of our fantastic restaurants Arbol, Gabriella’s, La Mansion, Mira Olas, or Victoria’s…just to mention a few. We also want to welcome back the seventh annual Envision Festival on the 23rd to 26th in Uvita. Four days of music, yoga, artists, and workshops to help open our minds to making this a better planet…. TOGETHER. Spreading peace, love and knowledge not footprints and waste.

Bienvenidos…Welcome to the Rain forest, green season has arrived. So enjoy the peace of it and the greenness it provides. Our mornings are normally beautiful the rain comes later in the day so get moving early and maybe an afternoon nap (guilt free when it rains haha). Are restaurants and tour companies are in full swing to make your stay here unforgettable and without the crowds more enjoyable. Marina Pez Vela offers outstanding restaurants and tours. Great shopping and MOST important this time of year underground parking and shuttle service. We recommended calling ahead to our fine restaurants beforehand because some will be closing for a quick holiday for themselves and staff. Always love this time of year being from the US I always look forward to the start of the NFL season. Catch all the games at Barba Roja and Byblos on the mountain. Hawg and Bills and El Sol at the beach.
Bienvenidos…Welcome to our piece of paradise. We are sure you will have a great time. There are so many wonderful things Costa Rica has to offer and we have them all right here. Amazing beaches to stroll or fly with Aquas Azules Parasailing. World class sport fishing and a fleet of boats waiting for you at Marina Pez Vela. Congratulations to Roy Zapatao for your world record 51 lb. Snook. (see article pg. 44). We have tours from skydiving (Skydive Costa Rica) to scuba diving and everything in between. Whether you want to relax and enjoy the nature and wildlife on a mangrove tour or for a little more adrenaline try white water rafting ( Quepoa Expeditions). Our mangroves and rivers are as magical as our coastline. To experience the jungle canopy there is nothing like ziplining ( TiTi Canopy tours). Or the first of its kind EcoTram at Hacienda Baru( tell Jack we sent you). August is whale season so while you are enjoying a cocktail at our many restaurants with a view pay attention to the coast you never know when a family of Humpbacks will go swimming by.
