Finca Bellavista: immersion in the tropical jungle

Evaluation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Customer review: “Dream nest in the jungle
We loved casa peresoza! With no electricity, we ate by candlelight on the balcony and slept to the sound of crickets, among other things! This place is magical and unique, and the staff (Shana, David, James, to name but a few) are extremely friendly! The morning yoga class, a great way to start the day in this heavenly atmosphere. The flowers, vegetable garden, other cabins and waterfall are well worth a visit. We’ll have fond memories of Finca BellaVista!”
