We are a great option as a bird watching hotel in the greater San José area because the rain forest literally surrounds the hotel and we have many hard to see species visit our feeders.

    Guided walking tours are available, but we suggest booking these at the same time you reserve your room. Guests will be greeted in our new reception with a postcard view of the La Paz River Valley.
