Chachagua Rain Forest Hotel is nestled in the eastern foothills of the Tilaran mountain range, one of the most biologically diverse areas in all of Costa Rica. The project is a dream come true for Costa Rican owner Carlos Salazar who, after 25 years in the travel business, decided to concentrate his efforts on developing what for many years has been his own private farm and secluded spot to just get away from it all. Each comfortable and tastefully appointed suite has a private hot water show, ceiling fan, and porch area for relaxed nature viewing. For the traveler who wishes to avoid a lot of packing and unpacking, Chachagua Rain Forest Hotel is a wonderful base of operations for seeing the many fascinating attractions of the San Carlos region which include the majestic Arenal Volcano, the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge, the Venado Caverns, freshwater fishing and windsurfing on Lake Arenal, white water rafting on the Penas Blancas River, and the therapeutic benefits of various hot springs in the area.
