Description: This Hacienda is located in Orotina, in front of the Carara National Park, making it a perfect location for those traveling to Jaco or Manuel Antonio, or vice versa—an experience in total harmony with nature.
Here, you will have the opportunity to experience how our ancestors lived, as the lodge has no electricity and features a wooden house with an ochre floor, a separate shower and toilet, and a large corridor where you can sit in the evening to relax and listen to the sounds of nocturnal animals. There are also two wooden cabins where accommodation is provided. The food is cooked on a wood-burning cooker.
Maximum capacity 15 pax
Today, we will walk for about 1 hour to reach the Hacienda, passing through an amaca bridge. Upon arrival, we will be welcomed with a delicious natural fresco by the wife of their baqueano, Miguel. They settled in their rooms to rest and then took a tour of the area’s fruits, accompanied by their respective tastings.
For dinner, they will have a cooking class to prepare their meal.
