Introducing San Rafael de Guatuso Area

The small town of Guatuso (shown on some maps as San Rafael) is 19km northeast of Nuevo Arenal and 40km east of La Fortuna, and is the main population center of this predominantly agricultural area. Although the town itself is rather unremarkable, it’s a good base for exploring the recommended Venado Caves. The area is also home to the few remaining Maleku, one of Costa Rica’s indigenous populations.
