Aves de Tierras Altas

We had a wonderful stay with Eliette. The property was well designed, and homely and we were very well taken care of with a wonderful breakfast each morning which including lots of homemade treats. The gardens were beautifully maintained with lots of birds/ wildlife to see - we even caught a glimpse of a Tapir and her baby one night!

The cabins were clean, comfortable and gave a sense of really being in nature. The amount of wildlife we saw from our cabins or within the grounds was astonishing. My favourite of all the places we stayed on our trip

There was nothing I didn't like about the cabin or our stay at Tierra Altas.

Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful nature, very kind and helpful host. Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast plenty and made with love. It is a quiet place, very nice surrounding. Tenorio National park about 20 minutes drive away.

Breakfast was fantastic and very generous. Our host was very kind and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure chatting with Eliette. We absolutely loved having so much nature on our doorstep. We spent a lot of time on our balcony with our children, taking it slow and enjoying life :) There is a lot to do near Bijagua, despite what people say. We stayed 3 nights and would have enjoyed an extra one at least !

Nothing :)

Tierras Altas is a much better place to stay than Heliconias Lodge! And if you pay an entrance ticket of USD 14 per person, you can access the trails of Heliconias. The two lodges are only 300 meters apart!

Very pleasant staff, very good living conditions, clean and elegant, and the best of all: a garden with lots of birds, including Tody Motmot, Snowcap, Black-crested Coquette and Rufous-Winged Tanager. The only thing that slowed it down a bit was that they had a dog and a cat that were allowed to roam freely in the garden. Not exactly the best option for bird enthusiasts like us. But the dog was intelligent and didn't make any noise. Despite this: A perfect place!

The hosts have taken a plot of land at the base of Tenorio and turned it into a secret garden full of birds and flowers and trees. The apartment was lovely, comfortable, and equipped with everything one needs. They brought a complete breakfast the evening before, so you can warm it up whenever you are ready.

Quiet, Peaceful and Serene. Connected to Nature. Designed & Built Intelligently, with a Focus on Harmony with the Surrounding Ecosystems.

House was very well done! Attention to details. Birds were amazing! See eBird lists!! Breakfasts were huge and homemade! Afternoon bread and frescos were delicious. We had laundry service done. It was very reasonable and efficient.

This is a magical place -- we were escaping the Minnesota winter to bird, hike and enjoy Costa Rica, and our stay was absolutely wonderful. We were even invited to Christmas Eve dinner with traditional Costa Rican food. We saw incredible wildlife, facilitated by our hosts, and would come back again in a heartbeat.

We liked everything! Beautiful grounds to explore and such a wonderful variety of birds to watch, just sitting outside on the balcony. The chalets are really lovely, with very attractive woodwork, and the bed was very comfortable. Extremely knowledgable and helpful hosts. Super breakfast delivered to the chalet each evening, to be enjoyed the next morning when you decide. You cook your own eggs. Great idea!

Nothing.
