Bungalow in the jungle
On our secluded private 172 hectare Wildlife / Rain Forest Reserve 1200 meters above La Suiza, Turrialba, sits the "Bungalow" surrounded by peace, tranquility, birds and volcano views. Many guests in the past said they were so very happy just being in this beautiful quaint artistic wood crafted house appraising majestic views of the Volcan Turrialba & valley, Pacuare, Chirripo, & Talamanca mountain ranges + our own rain forest canopy. Hike, Ride, Swim, Bird watch, Fish, Relax !
The space Beautiful Hand crafted wooden 3 bedroom spacious bungalow with panoramic views situated at the end of a rural road with no power lines or vehicles passing through. A solar panel for electricity. It can sleep 1 as it can sleep 6. Swimming at our private emerald pond surrounded by rain forest is an amazing experience that is just a 5 minute walk from the house! Horse back riding, guided hikes on our secluded and pristine reserve (where you will not see other humans besides yourselves and the guides ) and fishing are available at fare rates depending on number of participants. Amazing exclusive Pacuare River white water rafting trips can be arranged with experienced guides and are highly recommended. The Pacuare River is among the 10 most cleanest rivers in the world. The days are warm, but the nights are chilly. Open air bathroom ( cold spring water) ALL PHOTOS ON OUR LISTING ARE TAKEN WITHIN OUR PRIVATE RESERVE!

Guided hiking tours are recommended when going into rain forest or waterfall starting at $25 to $50 per person depending on where you want to go and how long of a hike. We can give a reduced guided hike group rate for over 5 people. On the long beautiful hike to our own private waterfall , we provide a pack lunch. Gracious horse back riding starts at $45 per person depending on how long and where you want to ride. Picnic lunches can be arranged as well as fishing in our Tilapia pond. Rubber at least mid calf boots are recommended or waterproof hiking boots. My husband, son, staff and I are close by for anything you might need and to customize your stay.

Other things to note 1. We are at the end of a 6.5 km 4 wheel drive only road. It is best to come early in the day. We can arrange a 4 wheel drive taxi to pick you up if you do not have a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the small town of La Suiza at the bottom of our hill for $25. 2. There are three supermarkets in La Suiza and three butchers. Make sure you do your food, beverage and ice shopping before coming up the hill. You don't want to be having to make unnecessary trips down the hill taking you away from the serenity of the reserve. 3.

Jungle mountain paradise
Wow, what an incredible slice of heaven. Feels like you’re a million miles away from civilization. Waking up to the sounds of the birds in the morning, dinner with Gregory (host) and sitting on the porch in the evening were highlights of the stay. It’s a commitment to get up and down the road and 4wd is essential. As such I’d recommend staying at least 2 nights w/o going down. Hosts offers horseback rides and guided hikes around the property. Might be worth checking out. Sure, the accommodations are rustic, but for us it added to the experience of it all!
