点评:One of the nicest places we have stayed during our trip throughout Panamá and Costa Rica, and at a ridiculously low price. Lovely chalet, stupendous views and the perfect hosts.
Ideal as a base for both Monteverde (about 10 km) and Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserves (about 6 km).
The cabin is a decent size, with an open plan bedroom, lounge and kitchen on one floor and a second bedroom upstairs. Also a lovely (small) veranda.
Everything sparkling clean and in perfect condition.
The most amazing feature is the view; an uninterrupted vista overlooking Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and the plains stretching down to the Pacific Ocean.
The chalet is perched high on a hillside, but just behind it, and slightly higher, is a lookout point - great for sunsets and with even clearer views of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Nicoya.
Behind this is the Woodpecker Reserve, 45 hectares of nature owned and managed by our host, Dinia, and her family, where we were free to wander and explore at our leisure.
Dinia was always on hand to help us, give us advice and answer our questions about the area.
Donald, her husband, is one of the more experienced guides in the region. He led us on a night walk through the Woodpecker Reserve; it was fascinating to learn about the frogs, tarantulas, birds and other critters.
Woodpecker Reserve is heavily involved in environmental education; by staying here we felt that we were supporting an excellent cause.
Note that if you’re arriving from La Fortuna via Tilleran, the last 20 km of road is terrible. It’s currently passable with a 4x4 or SUV but takes more than an hour.
Also, it’s not the easiest place to find. Make sure you have clear instructions
翻译:这是我们游览巴拿马和哥斯达黎加期间住过的最棒的地方之一,而且价格低得离谱。小屋很漂亮,景色绝佳,主人也非常热情。
非常适合作为蒙特维多(约 10 公里)和圣埃伦娜云雾森林保护区(约 6 公里)的基地。
小屋大小适中,一层有开放式卧室、休息室和厨房,楼上还有第二间卧室。还有一个漂亮的(小)阳台。
一切都一尘不染,状况完美。
最令人惊叹的是景色;一览无余的远景,俯瞰着蒙特维多云雾森林保护区和延伸到太平洋的平原。
小屋高高地坐落在山坡上,但就在它后面,稍高一点的地方,有一个观景台 - 非常适合欣赏日落,甚至可以更清楚地看到太平洋和尼科亚湾。
后面是啄木鸟保护区,占地 45 公顷,由我们的主人 Dinia 和她的家人拥有和管理,我们可以自由地漫步和探索。
Dinia 总是随时为我们提供帮助,给我们建议并回答我们关于该地区的问题。
她的丈夫 Donald 是该地区最有经验的导游之一。他带我们在夜间穿过啄木鸟保护区;了解青蛙、狼蛛、鸟类和其他动物非常有趣。
啄木鸟保护区积极参与环境教育;住在这里,我们觉得我们正在支持一项伟大的事业。
请注意,如果您从 La Fortuna 经 Tilleran 抵达,最后 20 公里的路非常糟糕。目前可以使用四轮驱动车或 SUV 通过,但需要一个多小时。
此外,这不是最容易找到的地方。确保您有明确的指示
