Herrera Gardens & Conservation Project
On the east side of the airstrip, Herrera Gardens & Conservation Project is a 250-acre reserve with beautiful botanical gardens. This innovative, long-term reforestation project offers an ecologically and economically sustainable alternative to cattle-grazing. Visitors can explore the 5km of garden trails or 15km of well-marked forest trails. Guided tours focus on birding, botany or even tree climbing! Stop by Jagua Arts & Crafts to buy a map or arrange your tour. Campers should head to Herrera Gardens & Conservation Project.

Aventuras Bosquemar Canopy
If you prefer to tour the rain forest at high speed, the thrilling Aventuras Bosquemar Canopy is the first zip-line canopy tour on this side of the peninsula. Five lines stretch between five platforms, winding 600m through primary forest. It's about 8km from Jiménez near the village of Miramar - prices include transportation from Puerto Jiménez.

Playa Platanares
About 5km east of town, the secluded - and often deserted - Playa Platanares is excellent for swimming, sunning and recovering from too much adventure. The nearby mangroves of Río Platanares are a paradise for kayaking and bird-watching.
