Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to visit Cabinas Something Different to experience the Gandoca-Manzanillo refuge at its best?

We find the dry season, generally from February to April and again in September and October, offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring the refuge. The trails are less muddy, and wildlife, particularly sloths and monkeys, are often more visible as they forage. However, the lushness after a rain shower is also incredibly vibrant, so it truly depends on your preference for sun or verdant jungle.

It's a place where you truly unplug and embrace the natural rhythms of the Caribbean coast.

We highly recommend arranging a guided walk into the Gandoca-Manzanillo refuge directly from the guesthouse; the local guides possess incredible knowledge of the flora and fauna.
