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.

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!

Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo

Reviewed By judybS8317YH - Annapolis Royal, Canada

Beautiful hike in the thick forest protected from the rain. We had rain and sun and a beautiful morning. First hike is about an hour, second one across the highway about 30 min. The friendly ranger pointed out a three toed sloth in a tree near the parking lot . Pack a lunch as there are picnic tables, bathrooms and drinking water.
