Savegre:
This area is easily reached in a two hour drive from the hotel.
When leaving the main road at some 9000 ft elevation for the spectacular descent into the valley, be aware that this is frequently made through layers of cloud.
The beautiful valley floor, carved by the Savegre river, is in some places cleared for agriculture and is a great place for easy and very pleasant walking and bird watching.
However the sides of the valley rise steeply into rain and cloud forests and several trails exist for the pleasure of exploring these ancient forests. Guides are available if required.

Bosque de Paz:
This is a 1000-hectares (3000-acres) privately-owned Biological Reserve that, as a natural biological corridor, connects the Poás Volcano National Park with the Juan Castro Blanco National Park . It is a spectacularly rich ecosystem because of its privileged location. It is located on the Continental Divide with altitudes ranging from 1450 to 2450 meters above sea level. The Reserve is privately owned and it is exclusively open only to prearranged visits. They limit the number of visitors to a minimum so that environmental impact is kept at minimum levels, and the guests experience the personal attention in a very private and exclusive way. |
