Hikes

Riverwalk – One of the unique things to do in Dominical and only Dominical is experiencing the jungle, river, and ocean all in the same place. Take a relaxing walk or energizing run along the Baru River to find some quiet. Surround yourself with the sound of the rushing river and the undisturbed jungle.
