Five km/three miles short of Tapantí you’ll pass Purisil Park, a trout farm. Here, you can fish in either of its three lakes or wander along the three hiking trails. Call in advance for an early morning or teatime guided birding tour.
Restaurant on site. Purisil comes from an indigenous word meaning “clear water.” The nearby picturesque town of the same name was once the coffee plantation of former President, Rafael Angel Calderón
