Hotel La Pérgola

Behind the river-edged farmland of Río Frío, Hotel La Pérgola occupies a rural finca in Horquetas de Sarapiquí — roughly two hours from San José and close to the wildlife corridors linking Braulio Carrillo National Park to the northern lowlands. A practical base for birdwatchers and nature travellers working the Sarapiquí river zone.

The finca setting keeps the property quiet after dark, with jungle sounds replacing road noise. Sarapiquí draws visitors for white-water rafting on the river and canopy tours operating from outfitters clustered near the main town of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, about fifteen minutes by car.

Horquetas sits off the main route, making a private vehicle the most practical way to arrive. The surrounding lowland forest is productive for toucans, poison-dart frogs, and river otters along the creek margins bordering the property.
