Welcome...
... To Valle Escondido, "where mountains meet the sky."
A world of unique idyllic forest awaits, where nature's diverse beauty can be experienced within a secluded private preserve on the edge of a valley in Costa Rica's Monteverde.
A pristine setting offering varied hiking trails, abundant opportunities for bird watching, encounters with other tropical flora and fauna, and majestic vistas from the preserve's many platforms over the virgin river, waterfalls and Pacific gulf.
