Fulfil your childhood fantasy with a couple of nights in an awesome treetop hideout. With solid wood construction and big windows facing the rainforest, the comfortable cabins have all the ground-level amenities you would expect (including air-con), plus fabulous wrap-around porches that bring you even closer to the birds and monkeys. About 17km northwest of Ciudad Quesada (San Carlos).
Rates include a guided hike in the surrounding 36-hectare forest preserve. Assuming you have your own vehicle, it's within striking distance of the activities around Arenal, but removed from the hullabaloo. It's 300m north of the cemetery in Santa Clara. Two-night minimum stay required.
