Just an hour and a half from San José, this lodge is situated on a private reserve surrounded by cloud forest and rainforest between two national parks – Juan Castro Blanco and Poás Volcano – en route to Sarapiquí.
The 12 spacious rooms at Bosque de Paz are pleasantly furnished and decorated with local handicrafts to create a cosy atmosphere. Each has two double beds, and en suite bathroom, plus a terrace from which you can enjoy the mountain landscape and wake each morning to a dawn chorus of birdsong and howler monkeys. The comfortable lounge has a terrace with spectacular views, and offers sightings of many birds, including iridescent hummingbirds, and several mammals, while the gardens boast an impressive variety of orchids.
Various trails allow you to explore the area’s extraordinary biodiversity, with impressive 100-year-old trees laden with orchids, bromeliads, moss and ferns in an unforgettable setting of valleys, rivers and imposing waterfalls. This magical location offers pure mountain air and a tranquil atmosphere in which to relax, free from environmental pollution and far from the noise, congestion and stresses of everyday life in the city.
