Tourism in La Cuesta
In La Cuesta you will find places where you can eat, like restaurants and sodas,
but we always advice that you must better look for lodging in Canoas where there
are much more hotels and cabins since in La Cuesta there are not lodging places
to spend the night.
But also a very beautiful place that is worth visiting is Playa Pavones that
is two hours far away from Paso Canoas. One of my favorites is Playa Zancudo,
near from Playa Pavones. If you wish to have more information you can find it
in the Section of Beaches, in the topic “Playa Pavones” or “Playa
Zancudo” or in the section of Maps, choosing the map of the “Playas
de la Zona Sur” that means “Beaches of the South Zone”
