We really enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners, fantastic local food and good portion size, loved that we got all day very delicious juices provided too. It was a very nice touch that we got hot cocoa on arrival. The farm tour was super interesting and it was great to see all the facilities that are involved in the cocoa production.

The location within the valley was great, with short walks through the neighborhood to other areas full of birds. There was a very good restaurant about 100 meters away and a well furnished kitchen.
The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean, and sitting on the verandah drinking our morning coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon listening to and watching the birds was very relaxing and pleasant.
There were panederias, restaurants and markets within easy walking distance of the property.

Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers!
Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers! Tenorio National Park was wonderful, although quite crowded, so get there as early as possible. I highly recommend the hanging bridges trail at the Heliconias lodge because it was incredible and hardly anyone was there. We also got to see toucans on the road up there.

The town is essentially a series of businesses along Rte 6, a major road heading North/South. It’s about 1 mile in length. Beautiful vistas coming from the south and heading between the 2 volcanoes of Tenorio and Miravalles. The town is not picturesque but it’s surroundings are. Besides hiking to the waterfall and the lagoon of Rio Celeste, which is an amazing color, there’s not a lot to do (or not a lot to do that you haven’t done elsewhere in CR). For bird watchers, Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge and its boat tours on the river and lake come highly recommended. 2 nights of accommodations is good for most people. We stayed at Finca La Amistad, a working cacao farm, which I highly recommend. Bucolic surroundings, great owner and staff, nice accommodations and a nice chocolate tour makes it a great place to stay.

Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide.
Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We only wished his english or our spanish were better! We saw lovely birds, including scarlet macaws, a bat, monkeys, lizards. The park has 2 access points and the unofficial one was better as it was more natural and you didn't hear traffic noise.

Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season.
Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season. Great cloud-forest hiking, especially to Catarata Bijagua--not many wild animals, but plenty of beautiful forests, rushing river, and waterfalls. In Bijagua, Restaurante/Pizzeria El Barrigon -- popular with locals as well as tourists -- has good-value casados.

Great lodges in wonderful garden with ponds, many birds , frogs, plants and trees. Fantastic host Victor who is most friendly, his wife also cooks great dinners and serves healthy breakfasts. Not far from national PARC and the lesser known but wonderful canu negro
The location is wonderful, right by "downtown" Bijagua. Diego, our host, was amazing, accommodating everything we asked and could have thought to want. Amazing value for quality of stay, beautiful garden, amazing atmosphere, and comfortable beds. The pictures online do not do it justice, and we all agreed that the price is a steal! Diego offered to taxi us to Tenorio National Park, and our experience at Rio Celeste was top-notch. Cannot recommend this place enough!
The house is located in a quiet area surrounded by a beautiful garden with many different fruits which our lovely host Diego showed to us when we arrived at the house. Diego was so friendly and welcoming and he gave us many tips for the area. The house is small but super cosy and it has everything that you need, including fridge and a coffee maker. the location is perfect for exploring attractions in the area including Rio Celeste and Sloth tours.
Amazing, quiet, away from the tourist masses. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a more authentic experience. The breakfast and dinner on site were pretty good and very practical. The trail next to the house is much nicer then the ‘main attraction’ Rio Celeste, if I had to choose between those two, I would choose the Cataratas Bijagua any day; a bit more rugged and into nature.
Cecile's breakfast was always wonderful. And so lovely to enjoy it with views of their incredible garden. The best homemade bread!!!
The property is stunning and the pool was great for relaxing and cooling off after long hikes exploring the rain forest around Bijagua. Plus the fact that you can get a delicious dinner delivered from local restaurants and in a timely manor made it perfect!
Truly a hidden gem. these cabins are tucked away on the outskirts of a Costa Rican village. You are secluded, yet feel as though you’re part of the everyday fabric of life. The cabins are comfortable and cute.
The hosts are a family who are delighted to share their property.
We loved our stay. If you’re looking for a hotel near Rio Celeste, this is it!!!
Large balcony view is beautiful! Kitchen equipment in nice condition with large refrigerator. Nice large bathroom with great shower space. Owner very kind and responsive. Short drive to Tenorio, 10 min. Short drive into Bijagua, 5 min. Good restaurants nearby, Blue River Brewery and El Sabor de Dona Carmen. Probably others good too!
Bijagua serves as the ideal base for some great Costa Rica exploration. We could easily have spent a week here to hike Rio Celeste/Tenorio national park and add some interesting local sites and parks. Wonderful stay as well with the best hosts, giving us many great tips and service. Excellent breakfast, great rooms. All 10/10.
Gorgeous gardens, views and a huge
room. The staff was great and made a
wonderful dinner for us even though
we arrived so late. We loved walking
their hanging bridges and saw a sloth.
This was a perfect first place to stop
from Liberia and a short drive the next
morning to Rio Celeste. Wish we
could have stayed longer.
We loved the location of this hotel. You sleep at beautiful wooden cabins next to cacao trees, right into nature (we had a sloth in the tree behind our terrace). It's such a peaceful place with very friendly and helpfull staff.
There's a free cacao tour included and it's so interesting! Thank you Raquel!
The bungalow was beautiful inside and outside in a wonderful location. The warm hospitality of the hosts made our 3 night stay really special. We will be back for a longer stay. The location is ideal for exploring Tenorio NP and Rio Celeste area. It's about 3km from Bijagua on a good road.
Itza is an amazing host! We arrived way passed the check-in time due to public transport delays and Itza stayed up to welcome us with a snack and keys. Much appreciated! Also we got loads of useful tips and tricks on exploring Rio Celeste. I would absolutely stay here again
The hotel is on the road to the National Park Tenorio, just 800 m of walking distance. The bed is very comfortable and the zone is very quiet during the night. Breakfast was very abundant and tasty. You can spot many different birds from the porch.
This is my all-time favourite hotel. They have exclusive swimming access to Rio Celeste River. The pool is SO NICE. The dinner is very tasty. The only thing that would make this hotel better is having a gym/fitness centre and regular yoga classes.
The hotel is amazing in the middle of nature. There is a hiking trail that has access from the hotel. At the end there is an amazing little natural pool where you can swim. This was a top experience.
- Delicious “traditional” breakfast.
- Supernice and supportive owners.
- Great location for visiting Tenorio park and close by bathing spot at Rio Celeste.
