Hiking in the mountain
For those who wish an alternative to beaches, it is possible to go hiking in the mountain in the town of San Juan.
The starting point is the town of Fuentidueño by the bank of the river after San Juan. It is not easy to find the way since there are almost no signs. Nevertheless, taxi drivers can take you to the natural pools of San Juan, the other name for this place.
There are several guides you can hire to guide you through the mountain. We recommend you to hire Sr Antonio who lives in the area, and knows the flora and fauna very well. He also speaks a little bit of different languages like English, and German.
In the mountain, there is a fascinating river in which you can bathe during the rainy season. The water is very clean and fresh. The excursion lasts about three hours. At the end of 
the long walk, Sr Antonio will invite the hikers to his home to enjoy a nice meal consisting of chicken arepas and local homemade desserts like Dulce de Lechosa (Papaya).
