Mark and Anabelle are amazing hosts, they made us feel like family, and we did enjoy not only the beautiful place they have, but their company as well. The rancho is a hidden gem, a piece of heaven on earth, and they both are authentic people who love what they do. Thanks very much for an unforgettable experience! Big hug to both!

We did an overnight stay in Cartago. We had a room with access to the garden area and parts of the host’s home. It was really all we needed. The home was beautiful and comfortable. The host was very warm and welcoming. She was able to arrange secured parking next door. A delicious breakfast to start the day with enjoyable conversation with her and her son. Learnt lots about Cartago and them. We were close enough to walk several blocks to the central area to eat and get a feel for the city. Although, it’s not a tourist town, it was interesting to see. The neighbourhood roads are narrow and tricky to drive through. Interesting! We kept the car parked until we were leaving. But, this is what Cartago is.

    We had an incredible stay at this beautiful place! We stayed in the Sunrise Cabin, which was secluded and offered a truly relaxing experience. The views were breathtaking, and the property itself is expansive and meticulously maintained. Mia and Ranzel were outstanding hosts, assisting us with anything we needed. For example, when we needed a flashlight at night to search for owls we could hear around us, they were quick to help. Dayanna also responded almost immediately to any questions we had over WhatsApp, making everything so convenient. The cabin was spotless and came with a fully equipped kitchenette, making it feel like a home away from home. Breakfast was another highlight—not only was the food delicious, but the dining area itself was lovely and inviting. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

    The staff is particularly kind and attentive. Luis came to greet us at the parking lot: we had never seen that before ! And Marta is very benevolent. Very good breakfast : the omelet, with many things inside, is delicious. The swimming-pool is pleasant and the external mini jacuzzi (big enough for 2 persons) is a pure delice... Parking totally secure. The staff send the list of near restaurants a d the menu if 2 restaurants which can deliver at the hotel... and they do the order for the guests ! A very good stage to recover after the ascent of Turrialba or when crossing between the Pacific coast and the Caribbean coast.

    The hotel is in a fabulous spot high in the mountain cloud forest near the Quetzales National Park. The views and walks from the hotel are superb. The cabins are simple but perfect for the environment. A log fire in the lodge and heaters in the cabins keep you warm at night. The views, trees, flowers and of course birds keep your hearts warm during the day. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is just the sort of hearty fare you need at this altitude.

    Cartago is really a part of the San Jose Central Valley area and very densely populated, but it is a great gateway to the central mountains and volcanoes. You are close enough to San Jose for day tours but the traffic is horrendous. As soon as you go out of Cartago you will enjoy much less traffic but very windy mountain roads, Just try to avoid this city in the beginning of August when the pilgrimage (Romero) takes place and thousands of people walk to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago from everywhere in Costa Rica.

    Great place to stay outside of San Jose if you have a few days. There is a nice diversity of things to see, all in a loop if you want to. A number of national parks for hiking and sights (Tapani and both parts of Irazu Volcano - Crater Sector & Prussia. Note that the two Irazu sectors are over 10 miles apart and very different. Crater is basically just that and $15 plus they don't tell you it's $5 more to park when you get there. The crater is empty of water, and has been for many years, don't believe the photos, they're old. The hiking in Prussia sector was superb! Additionally, the Orosi Mirador is nice (free), the oldest church in Costa Rica (Ruins - Free), crafts, and the Lankaster Gardens were beautiful. Lots of options for food in Orosi itself.

    The lodge is right next to the forest with several walking paths to explore for different levels of difficulty. Tres de Junio is also centrally located between San Gerardo and Santa Maria de Dota, thus making it relatively quick a visit to both as well as other National Parks and trekkings (Tapanti, Los Quetzales and Cerro de la Muerte). Plan for at least 3 nights stay.

    5 mins drive down the road from Escalar Cachi, the local climbing area -- basically an outdoor climbing gym, with potable water, toilets, guides, top ropes on most routes, a swimming pool, and a nearby river too. Also includes a camping area. 25 mins drive from Paraiso, 1 hour from Volcan Irazu and the Prusia sector forest. A bit further from Turrialba, which was closed due to volcanic activity / covid when I visited.

    The drive to Verbena Norte is a winding one from either the north or the south, but where in Costa Rica do you find a straight road? The area is a little cooler than the valley, which is nice. Views are spectacular around every corner. Many places to eat, from cheap Soda's to upscale Don Porfi. Friendly people everywhere. Highly recommended.

    The staff was fabulous! The grounds were immaculate.

    The staff was fabulous! The grounds were immaculate. Saw some birds in common area. Food delivered to room was pretty good. Hot. What killed us was the room was freezing with no heat or space heater or extra blanket. There was a large very cold bathroom with absolutely no hot water. Wires sticking out of the shower head. No counter or table to place toiletries. Very dark and dank. A small outdoor light fixture with probably 40 watt bulb was way above the tiny sink. No other lighting. No window light. And nowhere comfortable to sit with room. Slat wood bench on front porch and in room. But this location was at better pricing value than a few others we stayed at. Overall, if there had been heat and some warm water I would have doubled my opinion.

    We did a tour to the cheesemaking farm Herencia, high up on the slope of the volcano. Getting there via Google maps was a bit tedious but on the way back we got better directions - via Santa Cruz and Torito. The tour is a great experience! On the way back we visited the national monument at Guayabo. We also tried to reach the Aquiares waterfall, but this is a bit difficult to find and we did not get there in time, had to turn back. The last stretch is climbing over big boulders along the riverbed.

    A peaceful spot in the mountains.

    A peaceful spot in the mountains. It’s a working farm with very friendly owners. We went horseback riding in the trails and enjoyed the home cooked meals. The perfect place to get away and relax with a book or a friend or a bottle of wine or all of the above. The last few km of the road on the ride up is unpaved, rocky and uphill — drive slowly and you will get there!
