Sightseeing
After some more hiking, you will finally arrive to the impressive Miro ruins! It is said that this structure was initially intended to be a hotel or a mansion built by a very wealthy man who wanted to have view of the entire Jaco coastline. However the structure was never completed and was abandoned to the ruins you see today. Although the structure is far from finished, the massive balcony with its three stories of white pillars is far more than impressive! And what’s even more extraordinary is the view you get from here! Simply by standing on the balcony, you will be able to appreciate the breathtaking view of the 2.5 mile long Jaco beach!

The most popular supermarket in town. It has lots of variety. It's clean and organized. The floor staff are friendly and helpful. The prices are good. Peak wait up to 15 min from 11:00 AM–8:30 PM. People typically spend 15-45 min here.
MaxiPali has more bulk items so you may find items cheaper there. That is down the road from Jaco on route 34 about 5/10 mins away.
