Pacific coastal rainforest

Fly from San José to Punta Banco or Golfito, in the south-western Pacific lowlands, set in secondary rainforest, on a high ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Accommodation is in private cabins with cold water bathroom facilities en suite, and a panoramic view of the ocean. There is a small outdoor pool (unheated). Generator goes off after 8pm.

270 species of bird have been recorded at Tiskita, including trogons, aracaris, catingas and curassows. Several species of monkey - howler, spider, white-faced, capuchin - have been identified on the property as well as sloths, opossums and agoutis.

There is also an experimental fruit farm, with more than a hundred varieties of tropical fruit, something of an attraction for the birds. There are both guided walks and time to explore on your own with self-guide pamphlets. 

Horse-riding is available (at extra cost). Tiskita has its own airstrip, and a wild, deserted beach - an ideal place to get away from it all.

Includes: Accommodation, full board, transfers and  return domestic flights.
