Breakfast Breakfast 
Bungalow North of the Arenal volcano and near the border with Nicaragua, you’ll find the village of Caño Negro. This little town is surrounded by sugar cane fields and orange and pineapple plantations. Caño Negro is famous for its wetlands and exploring these waters by kayak is an absolute highlight for every nature lover.
In 1991 the Caño Negro natural reserve was proclaimed ‘Wild Life Area of International Importance’ because it is considered one of the most important ‘wetlands’ in the world. It is one of the best places for spotting birds, caimans and small monkeys. The animals are not shy, because they do not regard humans as their enemy and hunting are prohibited here.
You spend the night in your own bungalow, surrounded by tropical vegetation, a stone’s throw from the reserve. At the hotel you can rent a kayak and explore the wetlands. Another option is to book a tour with a small motorboat accompanied by a guide who will inform you in detail on the natural surroundings of Cano Negro.
We stayed at Hotel de Campo. We had a great cabin and a nice tour with a friendly guide.
Very beautiful! Booked a tour with only five people on a boat with a good guide. Recommended!
The boat trip to Caño Negro was superb. We had a very skilled captain (Alfonso) who took the time to let us take pictures. The hotel owner also indicated the evening before that we could perfectly go for an hour longer at a small additional cost. We did this and had a great time!
Very friendly staff and everything at the hotel was clean and neat. We were the only guests here so we were really spoiled by the staff!
If you do not have one yet, then it is recommended to buy a Costa Rican bird guide (book) prior to your visit to Caño Negro. This way you learn to recognize the different beautiful birds when you spot them.
