Bosque de Paz

The place really lives up to its name… As someone who hasn’t traveled all too much, bosque de Paz was something out of a movie. The closest imagery to what I would describe as stereotypical heaven. Amazingly beautiful garden with a river flowing right through the middle. Stunning trails that lead you right through the Forrest, with amazing waterfalls to discover. If you want to see a hummingbird up close…come see one of the hundreds upon hundreds of hummingbirds (many different species) gather around the feeders and fly around the gardens. My family were lucky enough to have a hummingbird, each, perch on our fingers at the feeder. The staff, Mario and Co, were all absolutely lovely, extremely accommodating and have a brilliant sense of humour! Their knowledge on the wildlife comes with immense depth, any questions will be answered without hesitation. We saw an abundance of wildlife in our two nights here. And the views of the clouds coming down through the mountains were something out of a movie. (It really is in the sticks, so if your after any sort of civilisation/night life ect…probably not for you) The food was excellent, (plenty for us pesky vegetarians), and service was perfect. Only 12 rooms so expect a peaceful stay! The rooms were certainly somewhat ‘rustic’ which is fine with us. Everything you need in a room. A comfy bed, nice shower room ect. Can’t complain! Couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you for having us!! :))

Interesting Lodge. Well off the beaten path. Nice hiking trails and gardens that attracted hummingbirds. Feeders also attracted coati, agouti, and paca. Food was very good. Staff very willing to accommodate shifting dietary needs. Room was nice and comfortable.

This is a very rustic lodge. Even our room, the junior suite, was very basic. The king size bed was fine, and the bathroom was good, except for the fact that the toilet became clogged twice during our 2-night stay! There are limited options for meals, at breakfast and dinner, but the food was good. Wines by the glass were OK. The bird feeders, especially for hummingbirds, were very good. The location allowed for good day trips to nearby birding areas.

We loved our stay at Bosque de Paz - near Bajos del Toro and on a beautiful property with hiking/walking trails. Getting there does require some driving on windy mountain roads, including a gravel road directly into/and out of the lodge, but we managed with a regular small SUV (not a 4x4) without problems. The staff was very kind and welcoming, and the property felt secluded and private in a good way. The room was basic but comfortable. Meals are in a dining room with view of hummingbirds in the morning, as well as other wildlife like squirrels, other birds, an agouti, and pacas at night! It is a short drive to get to the local waterfall attractions around Bajos del Toro - one of our favorite experiences during our trip though was doing a waterfall hike on the property - with a private, stunning waterfall at the end, with no one else around! Would absolutely recommend for travelers, especially couples, looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway surrounded by nature!

Incredible location! Incredible staff! Lots of incredible comments about this place. Staff were great! Food was excellent! Rooms were perfect! Loved the trails and feeder areas. Birds galore! Coatimundi, Agouti, and more were seen during our visit. Birders should be able to find many species. Mario, Maria, and all are treasures. Would go back if life finds us near them in the future.

This was an amazing stay, the showers were amazing and the people were even better. Everything was very nice and comfortable. The food was delicious and they accommodated for all of the dietary needs of our group. There are amazing hiking trails to waterfalls and around the area. It was a great stay.
