Once a cattle pasture, now a forest garden.

Our family restored this land from cleared pasture into a sanctuary of ancient trees, medicinal plants, tropical fruits, flowers and wildlife. Beyond the gardens, the Naranjo River and more than 10,000 acres of protected primary rainforest, co-stewarded with Eco Era, frame every day.

  • Rainforest trails
  • 200-foot waterfall
  • Manuel Antonio, 8 miles
