BOSQUE DE PAZ

My wife and I absolutely loved our recent stay at Bosque de Paz. As the name implies, the setting is peaceful and conducive to a rejuvenating few days. The biodiversity and enthusiasm for and knowledge about the wildlife among staff is a great benefit as well, which is complimented by great service and excellent food. The hummingbird and fruit bird feeders and array of forest trails are also a highlight!

Lovely experience....staff couldn't be more helpful. Food lovely

This is a very special, 1,000-acre property in a beautiful part of CR that still hasn’t been fully discovered. I stayed at Bosque de Paz with my 14-yr-old son and my 16-yr-old nephew. Most of the guests were birders and they seemed very pleased. We were there for the walks and this is an area where the treks are epic. We’ve already experienced several adventures to spectacular waterfalls and around the Poas Volcano. And actually, the Bosque de Paz Reserve has several trails that can keep you trekking all day. They are well carved out, very smooth (apt for non-technical hikers), and they lead to a few different waterfalls and cascades that are very beautiful. And if you’re into cool water, definitely plan on an invigorating swim.

Rooms are basic but comfortable, and sleep quality is great… guests here really respect peace and quiet. The food is also basic, but tasty and authentic.

Bosque de Paz es un hermoso lugar para conocer Bajos del Toro. La atención recibida fue sobresaliente y muy cálida. Promueven la conservación y poseen el mejor jardín de orquideas que he visto. Pudimos disfrutar mucho de la naturaleza en un ambiente muy acogedor.

What a gem of a place. Sadly, our plans only put us here for one night. This had to be one of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, and water plenty hot for a good shower.
The grounds include an orchid garden that is almost beyond description. It felt like we had entered a different world. Then there are several trails that take you through the forest and along a river that are just enchanting.
Mario was our contact and he made sure our stay was perfect. He greeted us as we drove up, had our luggage taken to our room and took our food order for dinner. Dinner was optional (as in not included) and was beyond delicious. Well worth the price. Breakfast is included and was just as amazing.
There are several hummingbird feeders on the property that were always active. A couple of other bird feeding stations were set up for other species of birds and they were active as well.
The location, the food, Mario and his staff, fresh mountain air, clean cold drinking water, I can't say enough. I just hope we can find our way back soon for a few extra days.
