Description
Paraiso en El Campo
We just ended up at this place, because they have a metal bee and a sign at the entrance, wich says, that they sell honey. Since we’re beekeepers ourselves, we just drove in there and after a nice chat we eventually got stuck for four days & nights. Rafael and his family are gorgeous and friendly people and before we were able to plan or think, we were in somehow part of this nice group of people. We made tours around their campo, wich includes their own piece of jungle, went to visit other family members houses, went to the hot springs at night, worked on our car together and helped them out with processing cañas into sugar. As we found out later, Rafael is a certified tour guide and in general, the whole family knows a lot about the nature of the area. And they keep something like 17 (!) different kinds of (wild)bees, wich was just crazy for us to see. Simply super interesting and kind people.
We recommend to make a stop here if you pass by. You can get some delicious honey, some good experiences and maybe find some new friends. As well you can make guided hikes (even several day hikes to get really into it ;-) and get some good infos about Costa Rica.
Entering the property only with small 4x4 or by feet. No big rigs possible. Not a real campground, but if you’re nice, you’re welcome to stay. Price for this is negotiable. Even a warm shower or a rentabel cabaña is accessible. Price for rooms 25-40$. National park Amistad is 15km away where also another cabaña for up to 10 persons is available. They just speak Spanish and if you want, you can eat together with them for a small price.
If you’re a bit open minded and kind, you’ll love this far-away-from-commercial-tourism-experience. Enjoy!
