Iglesia Inmaculada Concepción de María
The pleasant Parque Central frames this modern church - it's also the seasonal hangout for flocks of Nicaraguan grackles, a tone-deaf species of bird that enjoys eating parrot eggs and annoying passers-by with its grating calls.

Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja
Active Volcán Rincón de la Vieja (1895m/6217ft) is the steamy main attraction here, but the region bubbles with fumaroles, tepid springs and steaming, flatulent mud pits. (If this doesn't sound like fun, you've never read Dr Seuss). All these can be visited on well-maintained but sometimes steep trails, and if you haven't visited Yellowstone National Park, this is a good substitute.

Playa del Coco
Playa del Coco is the most easily accessible of the peninsula's beaches. Its name is actually derived from the cocoa-colored sand that lies between its two rocky headlands, though it can appear a bit dirty at times, especially with the detritus of all the beachside bars. On weekends, the town is consumed with a small-time beach-party atmosphere; during the week, it's fairly quiet.
