Although the backdrop to Caleta is known as Chipmunk Mountain, and there is a lot of building work going on up there, the main part of the resort is more or less level which makes exploring on foot easy. There is no building work near Casa Mariposa!
The new walkway is now complete between the Atlantic Centre, Caleta Harbour and Costa Antigua which would make for a pleasant afternoon walk with facilities for a refreshing drink or snack along the way. If you preferred to walk one way only, taxis are relatively cheap for the return journey.

The mountain itself is the traditional home of the island's chipmunks (hence the name). They are little creatures similar to squirrels - who live among the rocks. However, now that the hillside is being developed, it is easier to find one near the walkway which runs along the coast and links the two beach areas - although we did have one sitting on a palm tree just outside our garden wall in March 2007 - see him in one of the pictures in the photo galleries!
