What a wonderful discovery to find Finca Canas Castilla where we stayed overnight on two different occasions while traveling to and from Nicaragua from Atenas, Costa Rica. The property is so beautifull, with the river flowing by, monkeys overhead, a crocodile in the river, flowers everywhere, horses in the pasture, orange trees in a nearby grove, and unbeatable hospitality.

A gorgeous off-the-beaten-path destination with friendly and generous owners! Our family of five stayed here for four nights as an alternative to the overdeveloped pacific coast beach areas.

The amount of wildlife in one area... More

Set in lush woods, orchards and gardens in an isolated spot along the river Sapoa in the far northwest of Costa Rica, Canas Castilla is a quiet spot where to enjoy verdant vegetation and see wildlife while lounging in hammocks or strolling just a few minutes from home. This is our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica, and we've... More
