is unique in Costa Rica. It is truly a “Visual Masterpiece”. The design begins with the natural beauty of Costa Rica with its’ spectacular flora, fauna, Waterfalls and views of the Pacific. To this we have added thousands of flowers and several varieties of orchids, not only from Costa Rica but from all over the world. The manicured walkways in the Gardens meander along a river or at the crest of a mountain and most are easily accessible to people of all ages and levels of fitness.
It is an easy 5 minute walk to see the tallest Waterfalls in Costa Rica. The panoramic views of the Pacific coastline are spectacular. Because of the altitude you are able to see miles of coastline, many islands, and the Nicoya peninsula.
