About Ojochal
If you are looking for an escape from crushing crowds of tourists and energetic backpackers, you will find it in Ojochal. Popular with ex-pats and largely ignored by tourists, the natural wonders in Ojochal can be your refuge. There is an international community thriving here with hundreds of new ex-pats relocating here daily. Ojochal is the place to meet new friends from around the world and experience a diversity of cultures.
With a bigger community of international residents than any other place in Costa Rica, Ojochal offers all the world has to offer. Restaurants, cafes, music, and festivals are plentiful. It is also popular with ex-pats for the modern conveniences and availability of exotic goods imported by shop owners from every continent.
Because it is an international community, there are also civic associations and clubs for every taste. If you love volunteering or organizing special events, the Costa Ballena Women’s Club is one of many that welcomes your participation.
There is an endless stream of activities available in Ojochal including spas, yoga sessions, golf courses, a bowling facility, gyms, and even weekly poker nights. You can choose to hide away in your luxury mountain retreat enjoying the magnificent sunsets or wander into town to enjoy a local band in one of the many music venues.
The variety of cuisines is also what makes Ojochal an attractive place to live. Exotic spices and foods from around the world are readily available thanks to ex-pat’s imports. Enjoy everything from curry to baguettes and everything in between.
Another unique feature of the region is a large Mennonite community. They can be seen bringing fresh, organic dairy products to town markets. And let’s not forget the local fishers who provide a variety of daily catches at the marina. Farmers haul fresh produce to town daily so enjoying a healthy diet of fresh fruits and vegetables is a highlight of life here.
The beaches around Ojochal are spectacular and another reason ex-pats love living here. Secluded beaches far from prying eyes can seem like your own private oasis. Playa Tortuga is famous as a snorkeling destination with its gorgeous coral reefs. If you love exploring, head over to Playa Ventanas for an exciting day of discovery in its rock windows and sea caves.
Inland adventures are also possible for both the timid and the adventurous. Hike into the mountains for a zipline experience in a cloud forest or speed across the lush terrain in an ATV.
Waterfalls are another enticing feature in Ojochal. Cascada El Pavon is a must-see. Although small it is surrounded by tropical forests and spills into refreshing pools perfect for swimming.
In short, Ojochal is the ideal wonderland for nature lovers and world travelers. With both international and native cultures on hand to keep life interesting, life here can be anything you want it to be.
