Muy bonito lugar con una gran experiencia al recorrer todos los caminos posibles y poder ver diferentes animales en su entorno, además de lograr ver la Danta que es algo impresionante. El lugar muy bonito y la atención de las personas es muy buena, todos son muy amables y atentos para ayudar en lo que uno les pidiera.

I am writing this review with mixed feelings. The employees make a friendly impression. They are helpful when you ask a question. Outside of that, there is little room for spontaneous contact. We stayed a few days in a cottage in the surrounding rainforest. In the evening and at night you are alone in the rainforest. A special experience. Although it is a very large park, several hundred hectares, it seems during the night as if the large trucks are thundering past the house. You are guaranteed to wake up from this. Despite the nature that makes itself heard mainly at night. We also completed a zipline course with two guides, of absolute top class. I was finally freed from my fear of heights when I flew a final zipline of 700 meters over the jungle. The food in the restaurant is more like a buffet, dinner from the kitchen. Despite good intentions, we have eaten better elsewhere in Costa Rica. The service is very nice, . What is missing is an energetic management and a financial injection. Oh ... the night tour through the rainforest was of great class!

Mitten im Regenwald
Tolle Unterkunft mitten im Regenwald. Zimmer ist 1/2 einer Hütte mit Terasse. Großes Bett, kein Kühlschrank. Schöne Parkanlage, nettes Personal. Gute Frühstück im Restaurant wo man auch abends gut essen kann. Zufahrt über eine enge Privatstraße, die keinen Gegenverkehr erlaubt und deshalb per Funk geregelt wird. Angebote wie Führungen, ZIP-Line und Seilbahn sind direkt vor Ort. Seilbahnfahrt ist schön, aber sehr teuer. Wir würden wieder kommen.

A beautiful and short drive from the airport lies a lodge in the middle of pristine high montane rainforest, where we saw tapirs, two species of snake (coral and cat-eyed), several species of frog (including red eyed tree frog), both sloth species, toucans, and much more in just 36 hours. The food was excellent too. We did the aerial tram, zipline, and night walk. The night walk was absolutely fantastic. The zipline was good. The tram was a bit expensive for what it was, but it enjoyable, afforded a close up eye-level view of a three-toed sloth. The hummingbird garden (not feeders), sloth rehabilitation center, and frog and snake exhibits were great as well. The weather was perfect for us with sun (but not too hot) and just a brief morning drizzle. By visiting, you are helping to support the conservation of their huge property bordering Braulio Carrillo National Park

It is much more isolated than I thought it would be, which turned out to be a good thing. My son liked the “forest fuzzies”. We saw a tapir, toucan, coatimundi and other cool animals The restaurant was great, which is lucky, because it’s the only food for 30 min. Also the only place for potable water, so bring waterbottles! Jonathan in the restaurant is awesome It was bare bones but sitting on the porch completely surrounded by the rainforest was amazing. We did the aerial tram but weren’t able to do the nature walks because of the pouring rain (it’s the *rain*forest, folks) It was so quiet and peaceful. Everyone on the staff was helpful, even pointing out animals when you’re just sitting in the restaurant.

Grossartig!
Per Zufall haben wir unsere 2. letzte Nach von unserer 4-wöchigen-Costa Rica-Rundreise hier verbracht - und noch sämtliche Tiere gesehen, die wir bis dahin verpasst haben (div. Schlangen, Vogelspinne, Tukane, etc.). Die Nachttour war sensationell! Unser Guide war sehr engagiert, wusste unheimlich viel und hat sich über jedes Tier gefreut. Wir konnten so div. Frösche (u.a Rotaugenlaubfrosch), mehrere Honigbären, etc. sehen. Am nächsten Tag holte er uns sogar extra vom Frühstück, weil er noch eine seltene Schlange fand :-) . Es gibt natürlich auch Faultiere und wenn man Glück hat, sieht man sogar Tapire.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Zimmer befinden sich inmitten des Dschungels. Wir wären sehr gerne noch eine oder zwei Nächte länger geblieben für eine weiter Tour und auch, um die Seilbahn über dem Dschungeldach auszuprobieren! Wir werden die Unterkunft bei Gelegenheit definitiv wieder buchen!
