Santa Rosa National Park

From Los Andes you can make a nice day trip to Santa Rosa National Park. This national park is located in Guanacaste, only a few kilometres from the Nicaraguan border. The park is known for its unique vegetation.

You are staying in an ecolodge with stunning views from which you can discover the jungle. The road to the lodge is already an experience: you drive down from the town of La Cruz passing endless orange plantations. The owner picks you up with his 4×4 jeep to travel the last part to the lodge, following a muddy trail.

Tierra Madre has 2 comfortable bungalows and the owners prepare delicious food themselves. The isolated, but beautiful location make that you can really relax and feel inspired by the beautiful nature around you.

From the terrace of your bungalow, you have a beautiful view of the perfectly conical Concepción and Maderas volcanoes, located on the island of Ometepe in neighbouring Nicaragua.
