Border Town with Rich History: Los Chiles was originally inhabited by indigenous groups like the Guatusos.

Today, the town reflects a mix of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan influences due to its proximity to the border. Gateway to Nature: Los Chiles is a popular jumping-off point for exploring the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, a vast wetland teeming with birds, monkeys, crocodiles, and other wildlife. Boat tours are a popular way to experience the refuge's biodiversity. Los Chiles might be a small town, but it packs a punch in terms of cultural immersion, natural beauty, and outdoor adventure.
