Bosque de Paz Rain / Cloud Forest 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 spectacular 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 lodge offres 12 rooms surrounded by forest and a hummingbird, and butterfly garden. The rooms are fully furnished with exclusive ironworks and Costa Rican pottery. Each one has two double beds, private bathroom, and hot water. Wide balconies offer beautiful views to the forest.

At the dining room the guests will enjoy delicious homemade meals of gourmet Costa Rican typical dishes, natural drinks, and premium coffee, with a 180-degree angle view to the butterfly garden and the forest. They offer you vegetarian, vegan and other special dietary dishes on previous request.

The tropical forests are the richest and most diverse ecosystems of the world. It is estimated that there are at least 1000 different species of living organisms in every single tree.
