Aves de Tierras Altas

Absolutely love the staff and location in Bijagua. Cozy casita on a property that feels like a private preserve.

We had a wonderful and unforgettable stay with Elliot and Mark. The hosts are so helpful and we’ve got many information of the nature, culture and history of Costa Rica. The spacious and well equipped accommodation is located in a beautiful place. If we get the chance to come back one day we will definitely stay there again.

The property was amazing! The best place we stayed at in Costa Rica!

We had an amazing time! This place is a hidden gem in the middle of the jungle where u can see a lot of toucans and birds. The cabins are comfortable, clean and the breakfast is good. It is a great value for money.

We will come back ;)

Well, what can we say? This is an amazing place to stay in the Bijagua area! We arrived and we were greeted by Elliette who gave us some freshly made cookies and a delightful drink. She then showed us to our cabin which was fantastic, with a deck that looks out onto the gardens and jungle. Immediately in front of the deck was a feeder with bananas that was attracting a whole host of beautiful birds, including Toucans, Oropendula ( two varieties), Aracaris, Tanagers, Honeycreepers, and even a Long-tailed Manakin (new lifer for us!). If you are a keen birder this is the place for you to sit and enjoy a coffee and the birds. The cabin itself is perfect, the bed is very comforable, the shower was hot, the kitchen is well stocked. The breakfast is delivered to your cabin in the evening, and you can prepare the eggs in the morning when you need to, so that if you have an early tour you are all set. The breakfast by the way is fantastic,with eggs,fruit,yogurt,pinto de gallo,salsa with avacado, fresh home made bread,butter and home made jelly!! We couldn't eat it all for breakfast and had some leftovers for lunch. Also, the eggs are the best we have had, and the water from the tap is tastey and drinkable. Elliette is just the most delightful host, and extremely knowledgeable with many recommendations for people to connect with and things to do in the area. She and her partner Mark make you feel as if you are staying at home, but in paradise! We think you get the idea that we just loved this place and the people who call it their home. We consider that we have made good friends in the short space of our four night stay. If you get the chance to stay here, just do it!

Nothing

Excellent stay, very nice interior of the room, just outside of the terrace all the time lot of birds. Host lady extra nice and helpfull, helped a lot with reservations. Good breakfast, location is very calm, but not far from the stores, restaurants and tourist attractions (by car).

Weather 😉

Bird feeder, able to watch from deck outside room. Hosts were helpful and with recommendations and knew the area.

Humidity and dampness. We were there during a rainy period.

This property was a complete delight to stay at. The breakfast is delivered the night before so if you bird or want to sleep in you can prepare and eat it on your schedule. The breakfast is prepared by the owners and is fabulous with fresh fruit, homemade bread, fresh eggs, cheese, gallo pinto and Costa Rican coffee. The owner has a Biology Degree and you can see this in the gardens and the grounds. If your looking for a very special treat in an accommodation this is the place.

Would not change a thing.
