Beach time at Choroní
Our recommendations
A posada we particularly recommend is an old hacienda estate house dating from the seventeenth century, recently renovated, in a quiet setting in its own extensive grounds. It has a garden and an attractive courtyard where you can relax in hammocks. Rooms are attractively furnished with antiques. All have private bathrooms; some have air-conditioning.
The beach is a 15min walk away, or the posada can arrange transport. Boat trips to beaches that can only be reached from the sea are also available locally.

Days 2-3 B Free days relaxing at Choroní. Transport to the seafront can be arranged by the posada locally, as can boats to transfer you round headlands to remote beaches.
