The hosting family were warm and welcoming. They taught us about chocolate and sugar cane. The gardens were stunningly beautiful. They added a lot of extras that taught us more about their culture. The breakfasts were filling and delicious. Everything was so clean, neat and tidy. Lovely birds and butterflies. We felt like friends by the end of our stay.

The location within the valley was great, with short walks through the neighborhood to other areas full of birds. There was a very good restaurant about 100 meters away and a well furnished kitchen.
The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean, and sitting on the verandah drinking our morning coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon listening to and watching the birds was very relaxing and pleasant.
There were panederias, restaurants and markets within easy walking distance of the property.

Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers!
Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers! Tenorio National Park was wonderful, although quite crowded, so get there as early as possible. I highly recommend the hanging bridges trail at the Heliconias lodge because it was incredible and hardly anyone was there. We also got to see toucans on the road up there.

The town is essentially a series of businesses along Rte 6, a major road heading North/South. It’s about 1 mile in length. Beautiful vistas coming from the south and heading between the 2 volcanoes of Tenorio and Miravalles. The town is not picturesque but it’s surroundings are. Besides hiking to the waterfall and the lagoon of Rio Celeste, which is an amazing color, there’s not a lot to do (or not a lot to do that you haven’t done elsewhere in CR). For bird watchers, Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge and its boat tours on the river and lake come highly recommended. 2 nights of accommodations is good for most people. We stayed at Finca La Amistad, a working cacao farm, which I highly recommend. Bucolic surroundings, great owner and staff, nice accommodations and a nice chocolate tour makes it a great place to stay.

Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide.
Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We only wished his english or our spanish were better! We saw lovely birds, including scarlet macaws, a bat, monkeys, lizards. The park has 2 access points and the unofficial one was better as it was more natural and you didn't hear traffic noise.

Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season.
Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season. Great cloud-forest hiking, especially to Catarata Bijagua--not many wild animals, but plenty of beautiful forests, rushing river, and waterfalls. In Bijagua, Restaurante/Pizzeria El Barrigon -- popular with locals as well as tourists -- has good-value casados.

Great lodges in wonderful garden with ponds, many birds , frogs, plants and trees. Fantastic host Victor who is most friendly, his wife also cooks great dinners and serves healthy breakfasts. Not far from national PARC and the lesser known but wonderful canu negro
- owner and staff was very nice and helpful
- nice eco lodge
- you should book breakfast or at least dinner, they cook with local sourced ingredients, how they prepare it - it’s fantastic!
- they have an own private trail that you can walk on (saw monkeys, birds & some more animals)
- place fits perfectly into the nature, no lights at night so if it’s not cloudy you can see the stars very good
- options to do a night tour on the private trail with a local guide :-)
- 5mins drive away from Rio Celeste National Park entrance
The room was nice and clean. The breakfast was included and served at the attached restaurant, this was delicious. The staff were friendly and as all of the restaurants in the area close when the National park closes at 4pm, they made special exceptions to stay open for us if we requested dinner with them. It is directly opposite the entrance to the National park so it is great for visiting Rio Celeste Waterfall. You can also easily walk to the free swimming spot about 1km down the road!
The breakfasts and dinners were great. They have a very good chef. The location was excellent- an easy drive to the Park as well as to the town of Bijagua. The lodge was beautiful with nice common areas to sit, have a drink and look at all of the many plants growing inside of the lodge. The lodge also had large windows everywhere to look outside to see the spectacular grounds, manicured hedges and beautful flowers. They even had their own private hiking trail in the jungle.
We really loved our stay here. The room was comfortable and there was hot water. Breakfast was great. But the best part was the couple who ran the property - they are so kind and made our stay wonderful. We did not have a car so they helped with rides to and from the bus station, and even did some laundry for us. Miguel would point out cool birds for us to see and even stopped on our way to the hotel so we could watch an anteater in the tree. They are great people.
The house is located in a quiet area surrounded by a beautiful garden with many different fruits which our lovely host Diego showed to us when we arrived at the house. Diego was so friendly and welcoming and he gave us many tips for the area. The house is small but super cosy and it has everything that you need, including fridge and a coffee maker. the location is perfect for exploring attractions in the area including Rio Celeste and Sloth tours.
Nearly everything was fantastic! The price can’t be beat. We planned to drive to Rio Celeste to go hiking but then we were told there are private hiking trails to a waterfall at the lodge. We opted for this hike instead and had zero regrets. We got the entire waterfall and swimming hole to ourselves and saw frogs and butterflies on the path! Breakfast was included and it was delicious. The cabin itself was charming and comfortable.
We had a wonderful stay with Luzbeth and family! They were so welcoming and friendly. The garden is a peaceful oasis full of beautiful flowers and plants that have been lovingly cared for by the owners. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
We loved the nighttime frog walk and cacao demonstration and great conversations with our hosts!
We enjoyed getting to know the Bijagua area, including a great walking tour at Frog's Paradise!
Perfect location, 10m walk from entrance Rio Celeste walk. Good to go in the park as soon as it opens (8 am) to beat the crowds coming from La Fortuna. You can leave the car at the property while being in the park. Room is clean and comfortable and has a hot shower. Breakfast plentiful and delicious, lovely to watch the birds while having breakfast. Owners very friendly, English limited, but we managed just fine!
Nice basic room, clean and comfy. Great location for Rio Celeste Waterfall, and the nearby frog's paradise. Highlight was just sitting on the porch though, with views of the mountain, watching humming birds and toucans and dozens of other colourful birds happy to come right up to the garden. Really enjoyed our brief stay here
The place is so beautiful and Alfredo and his family are very welcoming, kind and open people.
We felt like staying with a family.
The garden, the bungalows and the breakfast were all great!
We only stayed for 1 night to go to Rio Celeste, but we didn’t want to leave.
We loved the recommendations and the night tour!
Great location, close to supermarkets and pharmacy, the road from this location to Rio Celeste is the best access road of the area.
Host was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area give us a lot of recommendations and answered all our questions in a friendly manner and with a lot of knowledge.
The bungalow was beautiful inside and outside in a wonderful location. The warm hospitality of the hosts made our 3 night stay really special. We will be back for a longer stay. The location is ideal for exploring Tenorio NP and Rio Celeste area. It's about 3km from Bijagua on a good road.
Such a Gem in the jungle and away from the hustle and bustle.
Super nice staff that did their best to accommodate us in every way.
The horseback ride with David that was organized through Amistad was absolutely wonderful and such a lovely swim in Rio Celeste.
The hotel and its amenities was fantastic. This is a cloud forest area, with two fun trails on their property. It is close to many other destinations/parks to enjoy. The town of Bijagua is right there and has everything.
The hotel looks very beautiful and has a nice terrace with a hammock in a lush environment. Unfortunately we could not use the beautiful pool because of the rain. Rooms ade basic but fine.
