Enchanted by San Gerardo de Dota

If asked to describe my vision of paradise, I would depict something akin to the emerald valley of San Gerardo de Dota -- truly one of Costa Rica's best kept secrets. This is a place where daytime temperatures hover around 70 F, and where anglers can cast a line for plump rainbow trout in the frothy waters along the high-elevation Savegre River. Simple wood houses hug the green mountainsides, and life moves at a gentler pace.
