PHILOSOPHY

We are dedicated to the natural environment in the following ways:

  • Approximately two acres have been cultivated with medicinal herbs, fruit trees and local tropical fruits, all of which are available to our guests for their consumption. The birds and animals love them too.         
  • We do not use any chemical fertilizers, bug sprays or the like anywhere.
  • �A portion of your rental payment is always put back into the farm to promote the health of the environment.

There is a currency exchange bank window at the airport as well. Almost all business in P.V. accept dollars.

The climate in our area is more or less 80 degrees year-round but can cool down in the evenings, so bring a lightweight sweater. Sometimes the humidity can build before a rain and it can get hot and sticky if you exert yourself on a hike. However, the trade winds on our side of Costa Rica tend to diminish this problem.

We supply all the linens, bedding, and towels.
