Introducing Paquera
The tiny village of Paquera is about 25km by road from Playa Naranjo and 4km from the ferry terminal. Paquera is more of a population center than Playa Naranjo, though there’s little reason to stay here longer than you have to.

Banco Popular (8:15am-4pm), on the side street, can change US dollars and traveler’s checks. On the main road, across from the gas station, you’ll find the new Turismo Curú (641 0004; luisschutt@hotmail.com; 7am-9pm), operated by the knowledgeable Luis Schutt of the Curú refuge. Luis offers a two-in-one tour that combines a visit to Curú and a snorkeling trip to Isla Tortuga for US$25 per person (this is a great deal!).
There are a number of cabinas in the village, though the best option is Cabinas & Restaurant Ginana (641 0119; s/d US$11/19, s/d with air-con US$16/23; ), which has 28 simple and clean rooms with private bathroom and optional air-con. There’s also a good restaurant (dishes US$3 to US$5) in case you need a bite to eat before getting on the ferry.
