Happy New Year ! I am sorry to report our DJ slipped on a icy spot in DC and will not be attending so we have decided to cancel our party. Maybe we will see you on the town. Happy New Year !

Leaving the Jaco Hotel

I am heading back to Montana for a few freezing days. I will miss our lovely hotel in Jaco. It may take me a few days to respond to comments. Our interent is not so fast out there in the docks of boon.

Just 15 minutes from DoceLunas hotel in Jaco, or half hour by bicycle, you will find the Tulin Wildlife refuge. November through January, sea turtle egg clutches hatch and volunteers and sometimes lucky bystanders pluck them from the wriggling mass in the bucket and line them up for the race to the sea. Check out this video of the adorable baby turtles!

Near Jaco Hotel DoceLunas you can see the annual Tope of Jaco - a horse parade in which the horses do fancy spanish stepping all the way through town (and from bar to bar).
