About this property

Costa Rica is crucial for global ecological protection, boasting over 500,000 species within its 51,000 square kilometers. The country protects 26% of its territory and represents about 6% of the world’s biodiversity, thanks to its strategic location between the Caribbean and Pacific oceans. A conservation project established 35 years ago focuses on Conservation, Research, and Education. The Reserve, situated along the Continental Divide at elevations of 1,500 to 2,000 meters, serves as a biological corridor connecting Poás Volcano National Park and Juan Castro Blanco Aquatic National Park, and is conveniently located near San José and the international airport. Covering 385 hectares, the property features rivers, waterfalls, and over 15 kilometers of forest trails, providing a rich habitat for biodiversity. Since 2004, it has been home to the Dr. Stephen H. Kirby Orchid Garden, which includes a laboratory and herbarium with approximately 250 classified orchid species unique to the property. Collaborative scientific research with the University of Costa Rica and Lankester Botanical Gardens has gained international recognition. The Reserve is a sanctuary for hundreds of bird species and various mammals, including jaguars, tapirs, and monkeys. Facilities on the property include a boutique eco-hotel with 10 rooms, a restaurant, meeting and research areas, and a terrace suitable for observing hummingbirds.
