“Villablanca Cloud Forest because it has so many onsite activities to choose from!”
Located in Costa Rica, just one hour from the San Jose Airport, in the province of Alajuela, you will discover Villablanca Cloud Forest Hotel and Los Angeles Cloud Forest Biological Reserve. The Villablanca experience starts with the unique personality of your accommodations. These charming “Casitas” or bungalows are unparalleled in Costa Rica in their unique style and setting on a hilltop overlooking 3,000 acres of dairy farms and protected Cloud Forest. These spacious “bungalows” are built and decorated in the best folk tradition, all of them featuring a cozy fireplace for the cool comfortable nights that characterize the tropical cloud forest of the region. The hotel is composed of several private casitas, on the main hilltop facility you’ll find the reception and a Costa Rican-style bar and restaurant. In Villablanca, relaxation and comfort go hand in hand with the conservation of wildlife, a unique cloud forest hotel where the thrill of adventure is complemented by the importance of the natural landscape and serenity that surrounds you. The Los Angeles Cloud Forest Private Biological Reserve is a 17,500 acre protected nature corridor. This relatively unknown reserve is located north of San Ramon in the central highlands, considered by many to be equal to Monteverde. With fewer crowds than it’s counterpart, this cloud forest reserve is home to 210 species of birds including the quetzals, bell birds and three types of monkeys. The reserve features a comprehensive network of exceptional trails, classified by length and degree of difficulty, where expert guides have identified dozens of medicinal plants and hundreds of bird species. Through Villablanca’s research station, this private biological reserve has contributed to the education of thousands of students from around the world.
