If you want fresh fruit that you pick straight from the trees, along with fresh fish that you can catch yourself, then you need to go to San Gerardo de Dota, a small city on the western slopes of the Cerra de la Muerta. You’ll be able to catch your own trout dinner on the Río Saverge and pair it with fresh-picked apples, avocados or other indigenous fruits. Then do a little highland birding—it made San Gerardo famous. When you’re done, take a hot shower at your hotel and for your next meal, try a little Tico cuisine.
