Hotel La Garza in La Fortuna de San Carlos, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica | Hotel

Welcome to Hotel La Garza, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica.
There are 4 words that clearly describe the Hotel La Garza, comfortable, natural, simple and family.
Twenty minutes from the bustling Arenal Volcano tourist town of La Fortuna de San Carlos is Hotel La Garza.
What began as a weekend retreat for city friends of the colonial founders of La Garza has evolved into a small, intimate Hotel for discerning people who really desire a pure escape from the twenty-first century. Like the farm's founders, you still awaken to the sounds of the birds and monkeys dwelling on the river bank in front of your room. You still watch the sunrise hitting the cone of arenal volcano. And you still cross a swinging bridge to reach the ranch house to eat breakfast in a casona (main farm house) built 100 years ago.
It's impossible to enter our forest without seeing the wildlife, literally leaping from tree to tree over your head. Standing beneath the magnificent strangler fig (it was an adult tree when Columbus arrived in Costa Rica), you start to realize the meaning of the word "timeless".
Bird clubs have cataloged more than 160 species here, from the Roseatte Spoonbill and Northern Jicana to the tiny purple hummingbird. In the middle of the forest we've built a platform in the trees on the banks of the forest's main estuary. Animals come to drink from the estuary below, and your silent presence doesn't disturb them. Stay an hour or stay all day; we'll pack a lunch.
