A beautiful tropical rain forest located on the volcanic mountain range of Guanacaste, just 30 minutes from the Arenal Volcano is home to the Chachagua Rainforest Hotel for the delight and leisure of nature lovers, their relaxation and their enjoyment of excellent food.

The Hotel is privileged, as hardly any places in the world are, to be one of the few reserves of primary tropical forest in the hands of private owners. Within the property 4 rivers of pure, clear and pristine water spring up from the ground, one of which constantly fills the swimming pool of refreshing mountain water. It borders areas protected by the government of Costa Rica amongst which are the Arenal Conservation Area and the Children’s Eternal Forest which belongs in part to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. As you walk along our trails you will pass through creeks and waterfalls, where you can observe an immense amount of species of birds such as the trogon, the oriole, toucans and many more. As you continue on you will admire the Morpho butterfly, white face monkeys, howler monkeys, toads, armadillos, snakes and more. You will be surprised by the huge variety of plants, orchids and trees some of which are over 400 years old.

It’s the only hotel around the Arenal area which is immersed in a primary forest, where the visitor will enjoy the most vivid contact with nature.

The hotel has an excellent location to be used as operations center to visit all the neighboring attractions of the area, satisfying the taste of adventurers, explorers, naturalists and sportsmen who like to enjoy live experiences and can return to enjoy the amenities and attractions of the hotel with its particular ambiance of peace and relaxation.

 

 

We are proud of our fine Restaurant, a rustic place with exuberant views of the forest and the pool, offering international cuisine with that special homely touch and that unique Costa Rican flavor. We guarantee you will be delighted.
