Walk to ¨el Miro¨
If there is one place where you can enjoy the beach and the mountain at the same time is Jaco. The Miro, as it was nicknamed by the locals, is access to the mountain where you will have a spectacular view of Jacó.

Bike Ride
The #1 transport of the ¨jacobeños¨ is the bicycle, but not just any bicycle, the preferred one is the banana. If you want to feel like a real local you should ride a banana, but don’t worry you don’t have to take your whole family on it as some locals do.
