Cloudbridge Nature Reserve

Cloudbridge is a private Nature Reserve and Research Center protecting the cloudforest next to Chirripó National Park. We offer lovely hiking trails with gorgeous waterfalls and the opportunity to see amazing wildlife. We also offer accommodations for guests, and other services.

Reviewed By TravelinMan1981 - Mexico City, Mexico

The well kept and well signed trails, the abundance of greenery and wildlife and committed staff will make your stay at Cloudbridge more than worth the trip inland. Stayed in the hummingbird cabin and was lucky to wake up to the title residents and after sundown on the property watch the coatimundis dancing in the dusk.

We stopped here, for breakfast, on our way back from visiting Cloudbridge. Chris and Martin were gracious hosts and while we relaxed in their beautiful cafe, enjoying the art, flowers and birds, sipping excellent local coffee, our breakfast was prepared for us. The bread here is outstanding and baked inhouse. Our scrambled eggs, with tomatoes, were delicious, and I enjoyed them so much that I forgot to take a photo. An added delicious touch was the pesto, made with basil grown in their gardens. We highly recommend Garden House and plan to return frequently!

Los Cusingos Neotropical Bird Sanctuary

Reviewed By ThomasW5890 - New York City, United States

We had arranged a bird walk by email, and were greeted when we arrived by friendly office staff and our guide, Andrés, who turned out to be a very skilled birder and super nice guy. We had a great walk around the property and on the trails, as Andrés pointed out all the birds he saw and heard (I had asked for a guide who is a good ear birder, and indeed, Andrés knows bird songs and calls extremely well!). He was also very quick with his spotting scope for my spouse, who is fairly new to birding, and pointed out interesting plants and animals. We ended up seeing or hearing 80 species in just a few hours, in the late morning/early afternoon, including a bunch of beautiful hummingbird and tanager species, toucans, Wood-Rail, Black-throated Trogon, Lesson's Motmot, and Pale-billed Woodpecker, a spectacularl bird I was hoping to see. Afterwards we got a tour of the Skutch house, which was interesting. Highly recommend a visit!

Nauyaca Waterfalls Nature Park

Reviewed By Margo7850p

The waterfalls are absolutely gorgeous, powerful and impressive. The hike from the parking lot all the way to the falls is long and mostly uphill but worth the effort. If you hike make sure you are wearing hiking shoes. It's good to have a backpack with a towel, extra sunscreen, a light snack, water . If you aren’t a frequent hiker it could be better to take the tour truck because the way in is a bit steep. Water was so refreshing and the view was breathtaking. The upper set of falls are great for photography while the lower set is good for swimming. The water at the falls where you can swim is deep once you get away from the shore, and the rocks are very slippery and sharp, so be careful & wear water shoes. t's a great place for a refreshing dip and pictures. If you only can, do not miss visiting this natural wonder. Enjoy!!!

Jardines Secretos

Reviewed By Q9951RCmichaeld

If you are in San Gerardo, the Secret Gardens is a must-stop for lunch or dinner. The food is absolutely delicious, the owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the gardens themselves are breathtaking and gorgeous. Make sure you spend enough time there to walk through the entire grounds. Bird watching from the dining area and make sure you try the empanadas!

Eco Chontales Waterfall

Photos do not do this waterfall justice. It's absolutely breathtaking. There's even a spot to cliff jump and climb back up on a ladder. La cocina at the waterfall base is excellent. Gabriela makes everything fresh and it was absolutely delicious
