You will feel hugged into the cloud forest but with a sense of openness which is unique to our location. Rainbows often make an appearance! Here your body and soul will be supported, nourished and rejuvenated whilst immersed in nature and a peaceful environment. You will find our accommodations to be very unique. We have put a great deal of artistic beauty (with a simplistic style) into every part of this Ecolodge. It is sweet and natural.

We are located in the rural area of San Luis Valley, just minutes away from the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve.
It is quiet and serene here, with cows and pastures just the other side of our fence on one side of the property, and pristine cloud forest on the other side. There are beautiful country roads, just outside our front gate, and hiking trails a few kilometers away. This is a tight community of farmers, who will always greet you with a smile and a helping hand if you need it.
Do note that even though distances may seem short, travel times in Costa Rica are always longer than expected.

To get here by Car
- We will send you a Maps link in your welcome message.
- Although a 4x4 is not needed to get to us, we do recommend considering it as inevitably one ends up on a dirt road in the rain in Costa Rica.
