Boasting garden views, Garza del Sol Glamping Río Celeste Buganvilia features accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around less than 1 km from Rio Celeste Waterfall. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available.

Lots of birds and great walks available right on the property which is 5 minutes from the park gates. Restaurant plays jazz, the menu is inspired (homemade passion fruit jam and house hot sauce made from charred, peeled chilies) and the toucans crunch on bananas while you eat your eggs benedict and enjoy fresh pour over coffee. The property has been in the family from before the road or electricity. Bring a jacket for when the clouds come rolling in. When the sun shines you can see Arenal volcano.
