Vacation rentals in Río Papaturro

Jorge was a wonderful host and took time to get to know us. Fantastic host. He spoiled us

What an amazing experience at GAR! The rescue and the surrounding area are truly beautiful and it's cooler than the beaches! Luis, Mailyn, Ronald and Jose take such great care of the animals and property! There's so much to do: horse back riding, ATVs, hikes, and interacting with the animals that are clearly happy to be there. The sunsets seen from the rescue are truly spectacular. Just a short drive from the property are hot springs, waterfalls, rain forests, sloth viewing tours, and a national park with amazing hikes and views. The small town of Guayabo offers groceries, a great restaurants and even a swim up bar! For offsite activities we recommend a local tour guide, Dediere Cascante! He speaks English quite well and is one friendly and knowledgeable local, long attached to GAR. The villas are clean, spacious, and well appointed. Do not hesitate to book some time at GAR -it will forever be in our hearts! We even managed to adopt one of the puppies and bring her home!

Bertha and Kamal hooked me up with a local guide who helped me throughout the week. The house was nicely appointed, very clean and everything worked. Linens were of good quality. AC was good. Kitchen well equipped. The location is fantastic if you like the lush tropical rainforest vibe with lots of wildlife. Saw sloths, monkeys, Toucans a variety of birds and even an armadillo.. Proximity to Tenorio and Miravalles National Parks is excellent. Bijagua is a nice town and you get a feel for the real Costa Rica. I plan to return.

Beautiful place to stay. Clean, kid friendly, responsive host. Comfortable beds. Would stay again.

My family and I had an amazing time at the blue house. We were in awe of the beautiful scenery not only on the way to the house but all around the house as well. The river was awesome and the private stairs giving access to the river was amazing. The house had everything we needed and Anisa was extremely helpful and accommodating. We hope to be back one day!

Very safe and private, you can really rest in the place. We loved the pool and the ranch, it's big and suitable for the whole family. The nearby river is beautiful, we didn't imagine it was so nice, it's a place to connect with nature and rest with the family. Close to the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano and about an hour from the Bahía Junquillal Wildlife Reserve, a wonderful beach, we would definitely come back again. Jorge was very helpful at all times, he was attentive to us and what we needed, he is a super host, we recommend it.

Wonderful stay, as advertised. Beautiful view, private trail to Rio Celeste, cozy little cabin. What more could you need?

We only stayed one night, but wish it had been longer. The house had plenty of space for 4 adults and two teenagers. We spent the evening on the back deck playing cards. In the morning, we were on the deck again watching beautiful birds and fun monkeys playing in the trees. The pool was clean and warm. Highly recommend. 30 minutes from Liberia airport.

BY FAR MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE WE STAYED IN COSTA RICA!! Very private and unexpected GEM!! Wild life of birds is abundant. Love love love this place and the hosts!!
