Traveler Tips
Visit during daylight hours to enjoy the riverside setting, and allow a little extra time if you’re stopping in from the road. It’s a good idea to check peak meal times, especially on weekends, when local restaurants in Grecia can be busier. Bring cash or confirm payment options in advance, and consider combining your meal with a scenic drive through the Alajuela countryside.
