Search Pittier hotels

The best areas to stay in Pittier are generally near the main entrance to the Pittier National Park in San Gerardo de Rivas or in the slightly more developed town of San Isidro del General.San Gerardo de Rivas is ideal for travellers primarily focused on hiking and exploring the Chirripó National Park. This small village is located in the Talamanca mountain range, directly at the base of Mount Chirripó, Costa Rica's highest peak. Accommodation here often consists of smaller, locally run lodges and guesthouses. It's a peaceful area where the sounds of nature are prominent, and the pace of life is slow.For those seeking a bit more convenience and a wider range of amenities while still being close to the mountains, San Isidro del General (also known as Pérez Zeledón) is a good option. It's a larger town, about an hour's drive from San Gerardo, and serves as a regional hub. Here you'll find a greater selection of hotels, restaurants, and shops. It's a practical base for exploring the wider region, including local coffee plantations and waterfalls, and offers easier access to transport links.Families might find San Isidro del General more suitable due to the broader choice of facilities and activities beyond just intense hiking.
