Rancho Raices de Osa

We are a local family farm, we do home made traditional chocolat and we share all about our culture, traditions, fruit trees, cultivations, animal farm and more !!!

Reviewed By Eagar4Nature

This was a wonderful tour given by a beautiful Costa Rican family who share their chocolate farm experience directly with you. They let you and your kids participate as much as you want in the whole chocolate making experience. The guide Herman was very knowledgeable about native plants that he grows on his farm and their various uses and you get to sample many along the way. If you visit the Osa peninsula I highly recommend you visit this family and support their tour! Covid has hurt many families like this in Costa Rica who depend on ecotourism and I recommend you support a beautiful family like this over some ecotourism corporation.

Hidden Valley Permaculture Farm

Reviewed By patrickmD3116MM - Toronto, Canada

The Hidden Valley Permaculture Farm is located at the Monteverde Inn and is fully integrated with the Escondido Preserve. This tour provides some wonderful insights into practical techniques for achieving sustainability. It is interesting, educational and very encouraging to see how they are addressing the challenge of maintaining a comfortable hotel environment while reducing the impact on the natural environment. Obviously there's much more to the story than can be described in a short review and I can only say that we found the afternoon fascinating. I believe they may be considering some educational programs and, based on this tour, we'd certainly consider making a special trip if they do!!

This place just blew us away! We will be booking the guest house here when we return to Costa Rica. There is not enough to say about the tranquility of the beautiful farm. Walks were perfect (we’re not hikers) but you can do many trails if you like. Food was fantastic and quite a spread. The owner himself welcomes you and is extremely well knowledgeable about the plants trees that grow around the gorgeous 100 acres. Swimming holes were a blast and extremely refreshing and I haven’t even begun to tell you about the animals; what lucky critters. We were escorted by puppies and a tiny deer as the owner showed us around the trail and farm. 2 Horses on property, chickens, ducks, sheep, kitty, and of course the puppies which love throwing sticks and tennis balls and enjoy swimming with you in the many swimming holes with waterfalls and brooks. We had come here with 1 teenager and knew the 2 things we were going to do, this was 3rd on our list and was something we were to do if we had possible time. I wish we had done this first! At first I thought the tickets were a little high and thought we would do the self-guided tour and I’m soooo glad we did the guided with the owner! They definitely weren’t charging enough! This was our favorite and well worth every penny. It wasn’t busy, just us with the owner and we probably overstayed our welcome lol 6.5 hrs. Excellent and a must do!

We are a local family and our job is to share the life philosophy that we got as a heritage, communion with the great diversity in which we have the opportunity of walking up, working on the conservation of the forest and offering visitors the unforgettable experience of nature image, walking through our different trails you will encounter a transition forest a bridge between The Cloud Forest and the Dry Forest; with an abundance of endemic and fruit bearing trees in the area that make it suitable birds watching, wildlife observation and wide array flora that characterizes the area.

It doesn’t come up when you look for cooking classes in the area but I’m glad I stumbled upon it anyways! Christopher, whose love of coffee is epic and made us wish we did his coffee tour, was a friendly face as we walked through making three Costa Rican dishes. Everything was well-prepared but also hands on and delicious. I’ve brought back home some of the ingredients so that I can make it for myself again, and soon! It was a warm and welcoming atmosphere, made intimate because we were the only students of the day. Highly recommended!!

Santa Elena Skywalk

Half way between the town of Santa Elena and the Santa Elena Preserve the Sky Walk is located: This complex use trails, suspension bridges for a more tranquil introduction to the ecology and natives of the forest canopy, constructed within the cloud forest. It allows a vision of the forest from a different perspective which starts with a walk on the ground taking you up to explore the treetops, a hardly discovered habitat, called the “canopy” with a naturalist guide. Also discover the night wildlife at our Sky Walk Night Tour.
