Finca Ecológica Sonzapote


A large farm that grows organic shade-grown coffee and is in the transition zone between the pines and cloud forest. It has a 'tobaggon' – a butt-bruising but fun concrete slide and large natural swimming pool. Accommodations are available if you want to spend the night among the wilderness.
