Tour Description

The Buenavista rainforest hiking tour will take you through a perfect example of a transitional forest (moist forest/rain forest). In both environments we will have a good chance of spotting lots of wildlife from this area of overlapping influences.

We will first take a walk along 12 suspended bridges through the canopy of this forest and then take a trail that will lead us to a small waterfall where we have the opportunity to refresh in its crystalline waters.

We have chances to see lots of wildlife like monkeys, toucans, manakins, curassows, guans, agoutis and a variety of other animals that inhabit this area.

The hiking tour through the Buenavista rainforest has been consistently voted one of the best eco-adventures in Costa Rica.

Next we will have a complete lunch that includes soup, salads, rice, beans, vegetables, pasta, chicken and beef/fish.  After refueling, get ready for our next hike (45min) that will take us further into the forest along a dramatic canyon inside the forest to one of the most majestic waterfalls of Costa Rica (no swimming possible).

Finally, we will reach the natural volcanic hot springs where we will relax the muscles from this perfect day in the forest!  Ancient legend has it that these particular volcanic springs are infused with mystical healing properties.  I’m not sure if the Mayans are correct or not, but in any case, cooking for a few minutes after a day’s hike sure feels great!

Our January 12 to the 22 stay was our second trip to Villa la Sata. We didn’t think it could get any better but this was a very special time in this extremely special place. For all our experiences here in Guanacaste this Estate cannot be matched. The village of Flamingo provides varied opportunities for dining and entertainment. Whether at Angelina’s, Coco Loco or La Forketta the food was amazing. The in home chef Jean Luc was the BEST! The beauty of the white sand beach of Flamingo is unparalleled. The staff at Villa la Sata was extremely accommodating. There was no better way to escape the cold of Montana. We will return yet again, Michael Snow

It would be tougher to spend a week in Costa Rica in a nicer home than Villa La Sata. Not only is it centrally located to the “hopping” area of the Pacific Coast side of Costa Rica, it is positioned on the property and Bay perfectly. A view of over 180 degrees of the ocean is breathtaking. The home is beautiful, updated and unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime vacation home. This will go down as the nicest home we have ever spent time in, on vacation.

We stayed at Villa La Sata, in Costa Rica for a few days in February. It is a very special place which is beautifully appointed with detail after detail. I can’t imagine a better location in the world to soak up the sun on its terraces, perched on a cliff overlooking a mile or so of wonderful beach. We had magnificent sunsets every night that were among the best I have ever seen. My wife was in heaven as she cannot miss a sunset.

Staying at Villa La Sata was an amazing experience! The views were immaculate and the villa was very impressive… I loved waking up to the sound and site of the beach each morning. The fact that you can see the water as the front gate opens and from every room is why I would consider this the Gem of Flamingo. I’ve never experienced anything like the sunsets here as well. As a videographer and photographer it was more than just a paradise it was Heaven.
