Six wood cabins perched on the northern slope of Volcán Tenorio offer traditional Tico living, where dinner is cooked over a wood stove and guests gather around the fireplace. Gregarious Mario goes out of his way to extend the warmest of welcomes. A two-night stay includes a horseback riding outing on the property. Cash only.
To get here, take the turn to San Miguel that is signposted 5km north of Bijagua. The posada (guesthouse) is about 10km east on a sometimes brutal road. 4WD highly recommended.
