This sweet family-run farm has six spare but gracious casitas (cottages) surrounded by wildlife. Tico/Aussie couple Donald and Pip are committed to rural community tourism. The charm of this place is experiencing life on the farm – you can milk the cows on the morning dairy tour – and exploring the fruit-tree-laden grounds. Your breakfast comes straight from the chickens!
It's 2km southeast from Bijagua, on the road to Heliconias Rainforest Lodge. Donald also takes visitors on tours of Tapir Valley (www.tapirvalley.com), a private property on the road to the national park, where you can see – you guessed it – tapirs and other critters.
