The Natural Hideaway!
Ecos del Bosque is a paradisical hideaway nestled in the
South Pacific of Costa Rica.
This privileged biodiverse reserve spans across 14 hectares
of primary forest where 1.5 kilometers of trails extend
under primal vegetation.
It offers a one of a kind connection with our natural
elements.
Therefore it is described by visitors as a place
to feel each heartbeat.
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the lush mountain ranges elevating towards Talamanca,
the tropical rainforest is a sanctuary unlike any other—
a biological bridge connecting North and South America.
Home to 5% of the world’s biodiversity, this untouched
paradise invites you to step into a world where
scarlet macaws soar, jaguars prowl, and ancient trees whisper
the secrets of time.
The South Pacific is more than just a haven for wildlife.
It is a land rich in history, where
indigenous traditions intertwine with nature,
telling stories passed down through generations.
Walk its hidden trails, discover breathtaking
waterfalls, and experience the deep, harmonious
connection between the land and its people.
