Property for sale in Garabito, Puntarenas

6 Apartments + 2-Bedroom House – Nature Valley Near Jacó

1. Location – Las Monas, Jacó (Sexy + Commercial + Waterfalls + Nomads + Tourism)

Las Monas is one of Jacó’s hidden gems — a lush, tropical valley where breezes roll down the mountains and jungle sounds fill the air. Just 5–7 minutes from Jacó Beach, the valley offers the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience: peaceful forest setting on the outside, and supermarkets, restaurants, nightlife, and services just minutes away.

The area is surrounded by local waterfalls, natural swimming spots, and shaded jungle trails — a major draw for eco-tourists, weekend couples, and adventure visitors.

Las Monas also has strong year-round demand from:

• Digital nomads seeking nature and privacy near town
• Long-term tourists looking for a peaceful base close to Jacó
• Corporate Garabito workers (construction, hospitality, marina, infrastructure)

This combination — jungle retreat + tourism + nomads + corporate demand — makes Las Monas one of the most consistently rented residential valleys in the Jacó region.
