Beautiful little nook in the rainforest about a 5 minute drive from Río Celeste. Kenyan was AMAZING and so helpful. He noticed we had a flat and sent us to a shop down the road who took care of us. This place is like family!

Super fun two-night stay in this little neighborhood oasis. Owners are terrific and kind people, delicious breakfast and super filling (was not expecting that, thank you!). As others have mentioned, we sampled their homemade hot chocolate and the owner took us around on a little night tour of the gardens - especially loved seeing the sleeping birds all tucked in among the plants. Room, clean and comfy.
The location within the valley was great, with short walks...
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 pictures of this property do not do it justice. It is stunning. There was a family of howler monkeys right on the property. If you love nature and wildlife, this is the place for you!! The home was clean and Kamal and Bertha were excellent hosts. They provided many recommendations for activities around the property and we were very happy with all their suggestions. This property is in a great location if you want to visit Rio Celeste waterfall, sloths tours and chocolate tours. I highly recommend this property.
Super sweet couple that invites you in the guest area of their own house. It is a tranquil place with 2 people taking super good care, making you comfortable and helping you with anything you like to ask but with a relaxt, leaving you to do your thing vibe. The breakfast that is included is the best! Was sad to leave, it is such a nice rural region of Costa Rica, with Rio Celeste entrance within 20 mins drive. Recommended! Night tour was nice and interesting as well!
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.
The location is perfectly situation to the El Pilon Ranger Station for Tenorio National Park and Rio Celeste. The owner of the property was so responsive, friendly, kind. The included breakfast was large and delicious, with multiple option. The accommodation was spotless. The restaurant next door was delicious (offered vegetarian and vegan options as well) and service was wonderful. Thank you!
The different fruit trees, lemongrass, cinnamon tree, cacao, coffee growing on the property! Even though we don’t know Spanish that well, we could still understand the host as he gave us a friendly and patient tour of the little farm. He was so expressive that we could understand about the plants even in Spanish.
The kitchen is extremely clean and well organized, and all the appliances nice.
It is a lovely finca which provides the experience as indicated - outdoors, chocolate making, comfortable cabins, surrounded by nature, close to The national park, Rio Celeste and a beautiful waterfall. The staff was very helpful with tour information as well as serving delicious home cooked breakfasts and dinner. We (a family of 7) enjoyed our stay and experience there.
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!!!
Perfect place, about 1 mile from the entrance to the Rio Celeste Waterfall. Clean, air conditioning worked great, clean bathroom, very good breakfast, nice owners, free parking, in a very beautiful place on a paved road, had a small refrigerator. It's nothing fancy, but everything is great and the value of the room is tremendous.
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 set up with great connection with the surrounding amazing nature.
The service was excellent. The check in lady not as sweet, but she was probably having a bad day. Overall close to perfection. The service by Nelson was impeccable! thank you for the fantastic time at Rio Celeste.
The cacao tour (included in the night stay) and the chocolate workshop (not included), were the highlights of our stay. And they are well worth a visit on their own (but not a stay). Staff tries to be nice. Finally, just 13 min away from Volcan Tenorio national park.
really great location, nice balcony with a bar. all the rooms have a balcony as well that I could see. two hot tubs (but don’t get super hot), about 20-30 minutes from Rio Celeste, nice big rooms with a lot of space! owners are very nice and helpful!
We loved our experience in Rio Celeste, the national park was amazing and staying in this accommodation was perfect.
We loved the place, the family is adorable, the garden is stunning and the breakfast amazing. The wifi also works very well.
The location is excellent if you're visiting Rio Celeste. There is a public restaurant right outside the property. WIFI was free. The property is very pretty and well cared for. Parking is good and free. Staff was very nice.
The trail is awesome. The other hotel we tried had a trail as a checklist kind of item that was not very long or very interesting. Heliconias trail is awesome. The hanging bridge...Not so much. The view was also great.
Very well located for being first at Rio Celeste waterfall ;-)
The place is in a beautiful garden and very quiet. Great breakfast included in the price of the room.
