If you are a birder, you have found your perfect destination. We went birding at a lot of places in CR, and the best birding spot of all was the porch at Wildlife Paradise, which also comes with a friendly and knowledgeable resident professional naturalist and birding guide; Eduardo. Local fruit, homemade tortillas and freshly made empanadas, still warm from the pan, were a hit with us, courtesy of Nidia. There is secure locked parking, excellent tour recommendations, and the ability to book private tours run by your host, who is locally respected amongst the guiding community. The lodging is very reasonably priced, and easily accommodates 2 or 3 (4 in a pinch). This place is way off the beaten path, like the birds. We saw a trio of male 3-wattled bell birds on one branch here. I chalked up half of my lifers in CR while I had a coffee in my hand on the porch. The peace was amazing; the silence deafening. Nature permeates everything about this place. Go to here!

We had the most wonderful stay with Eduardo and Nidia. We felt like part of the family! Eduardo had so much knowledge of the wildlife to share and Nidia made us the most delicious coffee! It was so magical sharing their space.

Beautiful and lovely hosts. Note it’s about 15 minutes outside of Monteverde town on a not paved typical Costa Rican backroad (bumpy, potholes, steep). Arrive before dark! But honestly as long as you have groceries you’re good. We saw more wildlife near the house the road leading to it than in the actual reserve. You are sharing a kitchen and communal space with the hosts but they were welcoming. The rooms are not connected as well (as in separate from each other). Small issue with bathroom toilet but Eduardo fixed it. Our kids made tortillas with Nidia and Eduardo shared his love our nature with us.

Eduardo and Nidia made us feel right at home welcoming us upon our arrival. We arrived at night so having them guide us in was great. They both assisted with helping us plan tours and Eduardo personally guided us on a Nature tour. Their location may have been a little ways down a dirt road but having the jungle surrounded was Pura Vida.

We had a very wholesome encounter with genuinely nice people that we won't forget and learned a lot from Eduardo. The location really is in paradise, drinking your coffee in their lovely garden while watching animals with a view on monteverde cloud forest is just surreal. We're glad and thankful for this experience.
