Long before you get here, you’ll notice signs on the Interamericana advertising the best steakhouse in Guanacaste – Bar-B-Q Tres Hermanas. Believe the hype. This local landmark’s specialties are barbecue beef and pork ribs, marinated and slow cooked for eight hours. It’s located about 20km south of Cañas, at the turnoff for the Puente de Amistad. Look for the giant bull.
It’s a perfect pit stop if you’re making the long drive to or from the Península de Nicoya. Kids will love the playground; everyone else will appreciate the spotless, almost swanky restrooms.
