If you seek quiet and calm, you will find it here. That is one of many reasons why so many foreigners, especially French Canadians and North Americans, made their new home here in this relaxed town.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That does not mean that there is nothing to do; many places to explore while staying here. Yoga and Pilates are offered in several retreats for peace seekers. If you love going to the beach, you should visit Playa Tortuga; and as the name says, the beach is named after the turtles that nest here, mostly Lora or English Olive Ridley, although there are reports of green and leatherback turtles.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They come here in large numbers during the turtle season to lay their eggs. Near Ojochal is another beautiful beach called Playa Ventanas; its name comes from the large openings in the rocks that the ocean has shaped, resembling a big \"ventana,\" the Spanish word for window.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you want to discover more of this beautiful town, you can decide whether to explore your surroundings or go on horseback with a guide to explore the mountains towering over the area. No matter what you choose, bring your camera to take photos of all the animals you will encounter in the impressive landscapes in the middle of exuberant nature.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Perhaps you want to combine adventure with hiking while discovering wildlife; you might end up in a natural pool with pure mountain water. You could go on a hiking tour to El Pavon, an outstandingly beautiful waterfall, an example of what nature has created in this masterpiece called Costa Ballena.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You can swim in the natural pool with fresh and clean mountain water. You will feel overwhelmed by the beauty of the Costa Rican jungle. After a day full of adventures, you can choose between tasty local and international restaurants.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ojochal is where many foreigners have settled, creating an attractive gourmet destination in Costa Ballena. Without a doubt, you will find food of excellent quality, delicious, and in a pleasant environment, or if you wish, a chic atmosphere. <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/oF1Td4e6hLJhdZmn8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GOOGLE MAP<\/a><\/p>","link":"https:\/\/enjoyosa.com\/es\/destinations\/south-pacific-of-costa-rica\/costa-ballena\/ojochal\/","name":"Ojochal","slug":"ojochal","taxonomy":"destination","parent":62,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ojochal Archives - Enjoy Osa Tours Costa Rica<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/enjoyosa.com\/es\/destinations\/south-pacific-of-costa-rica\/costa-ballena\/ojochal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ojochal Archives\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If a town along Costa Ballena genuinely deserves to be called a tranquil spot, it is Ojochal.
