Why do I enjoy this area? Well, let me count the ways. First off, the jungle is like a never-ending episode of National Geographic, only with more monkeys and fewer commercials. There’s always something happening—whether it’s a toucan showing off its fashion sense or a sloth slowly winning the “most chill creature” competition.
The locals here are incredibly friendly and inviting. They’ll greet you with a smile that makes you feel like you’ve known them for years. You might even find yourself invited to dinner by someone you’ve never met, but who’s suddenly your best friend because you both love rice and beans.
Speaking of food, the simple but delicious meals are basically the culinary equivalent of a hug. I swear, I’ve eaten rice and beans here more times than I can count, and I still look forward to it every day. It’s like comfort food, but without the guilt of eating five slices of pizza.
And finally, the pace here is so relaxing that you could lose track of time… and probably your keys, too, but who cares? Everything slows down, including the sloths, and it’s honestly the best feeling in the world.
So, yeah. That’s why I enjoy this area. If you don’t mind slowing down and living like a sloth (in the best way), this place is for you!
