An exclusive property just for us. You may also observe sloths, monkeys, toucans, and more. This tour offers personalized attention and is away from the tourist crowds.
This tour lasts approximately 8 hours.

WILDLIFE TOUR, visiting a wide variety of ecosystems, wetlands, dry forest, and rivers. Ideal for birdwatching, you'll see a variety of egrets and herons, especially the Jabiru egret, the largest bird in Costa Rica, measuring up to 9 feet in length from wing to wing when flying. Afterward, we'll visit a National Park to enjoy more wildlife, where we'll take a boat trip to observe American crocodiles, river birds, and more.

Zipline and Horseback Riding Tour
Zipline and horseback riding tour. These two activities take place on a family ranch with a tradition dating back more than 300 years. Today, the ranch opens its doors to tourism. You will be welcomed with a cultural tour: you will learn about Guanacastecan traditions and life on the ranches. You will have the opportunity to prepare corn dough, tortillas, and corn-based pastries. You will also learn how to make cheese and learn how to make a traditional sugarcane drink (agua dulce). You will also enjoy a delicious coffee and taste the tortilla you made, accompanied by cheese and pastries.
Afterwards, we will take a zipline along 5 cables, allowing you to enjoy the foliage of a stunning primary tropical dry forest. Excellent quality equipment that meets all safety standards, and a respectful, experienced team.
Exactly where the last cable ends. On a hill, the horses will be ready for the ride to begin along wooded trails. You'll reach open areas or pastures, where you'll have the opportunity to herd the cows alongside the sabaneros (cowboys) to one of the hacienda's main corrals. The tour concludes with a delicious typical Guanacastecan lunch.
Duration of both activities: 3 hours

The property offered a beautiful pool lots of birds and monkeys to watch. Eladio and Vanessa are excellent hosts willing to make your stay enjoyable. Transport you to town or on excursions in the 4x4. We were there for 13 days but it was all around best part of our 4 month stay in Costa Rica.

Rustic jungle cabin off beaten track

We enjoyed our stay here very much, and found it to be as described. We particularly enjoyed birding with Eladio, who is just a wonderful host. He does everything he can to make your visit perfect. It may not be for everyone so don't expect perfection. However, we enjoyed so much getting off the "tourist track" and having a more authentic Costa Rican experience.

Eladio is a great host!

His place is out of the tourist path and in a great location to explore Santa Rosa National Park, Rincón de la Vieja National Park, and of course, Eladio is your best contact to surf Witches Rock.

Great location to explore Rincon and surroundings

This was our first to Costa Rica; and we arrived at Eladio's house after an initial hiccup with the car rental company. Any bad taste with the car rental company was completely gone when we first met Eladio! He's a fantastic individual - high energy, genuine, salt of the earth :-) and a great guide - knows a lot of people and places in the area! The house was clean and comfortable. It has a basic kitchen; and was enough for our breakfast needs. The air conditioning helped a lot at night! And we were sitting in the outdoor seating area in the mornings listening to birds :-) Eladio took us into the rain forest near Rincon; and we saw lots of toucans, a sloth, etc. We enjoyed eating local Costa Rican food at restaurants he recommended. We loved interacting with Eladio and his family. I would highly recommend staying here as a base to explore Rincon and surroundings; and to use Eladio as a guide!
