Bosque de Paz Lodge - Alajuela / Poas Volcano Costa Rica

Bosque de Paz is a 1000 hectares, privately-owned reserve with a natural biological corridor that connects the Poas Volcano National Park with the Juan Castro Blanco National Park. The reserve has one of the richest ecosystems of the area, and is dedicated to conservation, research and education. The hotel limits its visitors to small groups to avoid any negative impact on the rainforest, and help increase the different preserved species.
BOSQUE DE PAZ also features personalized attention, gourmet meals and tailored tours. At "Coatimundi Terrace" guests can relax reading a good book and enjoy the Costa Rican snacks, natural drinks, premium coffee, and the 180-degree angle view of the rainforest.
