It is really rural and quiet but there isn’t much to do besides hiking and nature.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

San Gerardo de Dota in particular is a place for those who love the quiet, nature, walking or bird watching. Even though I am not a bird watcher, I love the place for its tranquility and beautiful nature.

Great place to move out of daily base business and urgencies. Safe community, with friendly people. Easy to coordinate outdoors activities: ride horses, Mountain bike, etc.
