Beyond the waves
At Perfect Sunset School, we are close to many activities that can help you get a more relaxed and peaceful lifestyle.
1. Moctezuma Waterfall
After having fun in Playa Hermosa Surf, you can enjoy Montezuma Falls. They are three beautiful and perfect waterfalls along the Montezuma River and are 40 meters (130 feet) high. The highest part of the falls is the lowest level, dropping 79 feet (24 meters) into a large pool at the bottom of the river.
You can relax, receive vitamin D and breathe fresh air while floating in the refreshing waters of this fantastic place. You can even jump from the height of one of the waterfalls, perhaps the smallest, if you dare.
2. Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve
The reserve is named after the island Cabo Blanco, located 1.6 km from the reserve’s southern tip. Since the times of the Conquistadores, it has been known as the “White Cape” because encrusted guano covers the rocks.
Cabo Blanco is a vital seabird sanctuary popular with ornithologists; perfect for taking amazing pictures of these beautiful animals. It hosts large numbers of brown pelicans, frigate birds, laughing gulls, common terns, ospreys, and Costa Rica’s largest community of brown boobies.
You can also see magpie jays, motmots, long-tailed manakins, crested caracaras, black-headed and elegant trogons, chachalacas, ringed kingfishers, and several types of parrots and parakeets.
3. Curú Wildlife Refuge
It is considered one of the best places in Costa Rica to observe wildlife. In the protected area’s limits and its surroundings are birds, deer, reptiles, and many amphibians. Within the Curú Refuge, projects of agriculture, livestock, reforestation, eco-tourism, reintroduction, and rescue of wild animals are developed, coexisting with each other harmoniously and sustainably.
The reserve has trails that can be enjoyed to the fullest—well-defined shaded trails transport visitors through the different life zones of the reserve. You choose if you want to walk and observe the giant trees of Espavel, visit a coastal viewpoint or have a well-deserved rest on Curu beach, which with its calm bay and the long beach, offers a landscape of relaxation.

The fascinating canopy tour is nearly a kilometer long and includes 11 platforms perched high among the giant trees. Steel cables connect the platforms from a height of between 5 and 30 meters.
