It's a short walk to the end of the street and one of the best Mexican food Restaurants in the area. Alex, the owner, is usually there and happy to speak with the guests. He's delightful and has an excellent staff.

Jolly Roger is an adventurous drive. You may need a more powerful vehicle and don't go at night. It's fairly high up. Quaint outdoor bar style restaurant. Very relaxing and interesting. They have live music a couple nights a week, depending on the season.
Restaurante Escala is before this one. A little more expensive and a more "Boutique" feel. It is beautiful.

Very beautiful and relaxing. A little more pricey than in town, but well worth it. The view to the west is the Whale Tail. On a clear day in Sept thru Oct you can see whales playing.
It's only about 5 minutes from Casa Mazzola heading South on Route 34. On the Right.

Always something interesting to see and do. One of the best things to do in Uvita is whale watching. Humpback whales from both the North and South migrate to this area for breeding. They alternate with each other, and for that reason, Uvita has two whale watching seasons. The best time to go whale watching in Uvita is from January to March or July to October. In the months of November, December, and May, June, you might have little to no encounter.

El Pavon Waterfall is tucked away and not that well known. To get there, take Route 34 towards Coronado. After a 20-minute drive from Uvita, exit the highway on the left just before crossing a small bridge. There will be a sign‘El Pavon Talapia farm & restaurant’. Follow the road for about 4 kilometers until you see a sign on your left hand saying ‘Cascade el Pavon’ (just past the restaurant). You don’t need a 4×4 car for this road, but it’s definitely bumpy.

Very Beautiful! You'll want to spend the day! It's about a 20 minute drive from Casa Mazzola.
Our 80 Yr old mother with mobility issues was able to take the short hike down the steps and enjoyed the sights along the way.

Flying into San Jose Late?We suggest El Rodeo Hotel San Jose
We always stay in San Jose at the El Rodeo Hotel. Some of the roads are dark and winding. The next morning we have breakfast and take our time on the 3 hour drive to Uvita.
On our trip back we stay the night at El Rodeo again since our flights to the US tend to be fairly early. We have dinner there. The food is delicious! The rooms are clean and comfortable.
