Cascata del Bosco

Southern Costa Rica & Península de Osa


The four round cabins at Cascata del Bosco overlook the forested valley below and enclose guests in tree-house-like comfort. Each cabin has a terrace, skylight, kitchenette and bamboo-and-tile interior. Several nature trails wind through the property, and the roadside restaurant (mains US$5 to US$10) is a convivial gathering spot for locals and expats, serving delicious BBQ. Located just north of Wilson Botanical Garden.
