Las Catalinas is a new beach town developed in 2006 along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Its purpose is to create a way of life that is healthy, sustainable, fulfilling and fun. In practical terms, it means that Las Catalinas was founded based on the principles of New Urbanism — a compact, car-free and fully walkable town within easy reach of the beach. A maze of small shaded streets connects houses, shops, restaurants, small hotels and inns, pedestrian streets, plazas, parks, and recreational facilities — all surrounded by a lush rainforest. On the other side is the Pacific Ocean, where you'll find two of the finest beaches in all of Costa Rica with great swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, boogie boarding, and snorkelling. Don't miss out on the opportunity to go diving next to the Las Catalinas islands!

Nearby Nandi Temple is the Ganesha temple, Shree Dodda Ganapathi, and it houses an enormous statue of the elephant-headed deity made of butter. This site is very popular with locals so go here to experience their culture.

This festival, organised by DEPO2015, celebrates dishes from all over the world, and you will soon notice that street food hides much more than American burgers and Hungarian langos. Stay tuned about the dates, as the feast normally happens twice or thrice a year, and you will experience flavours and taste from all around the globe that you will probably never (or not before long) meet again.
