Strolling Through Hacienda Baru

When she heard we’d be driving down the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, Adam’s cousin handed us a dog-eared brochure for Hacienda Barú and said: “Oh, you’ve got to check out this place – you can see sloths from up on the zipline!”
We wouldn’t get to see this marvel for ourselves, but way down on the ground, Barú also has a green and lovely jungle walk and a windswept beach you can have all to yourselves. You might just want to hang your hat and stay awhile.
