Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see at del Paseo, and when is the best time to visit for sightings?

We love del Paseo for its peaceful immersion in Parque Ecológico, where you're likely to spot howler monkeys and vibrant toucans right from the lodge grounds. For the most active wildlife viewing, we recommend visiting during the dry season, from December to April, when animals tend to congregate near water sources.

Beyond the guesthouse experience, what unique activities does del Paseo offer within Parque Ecológico?

While del Paseo excels as a tranquil guesthouse, we also recommend their guided nature walks into Parque Ecológico. These walks offer an intimate look at the rainforest's biodiversity, and our guides have an uncanny knack for spotting elusive creatures we might otherwise miss.

What is the general cost range for a stay at del Paseo, and are there any hidden fees we should be aware of?

We found del Paseo to offer excellent value, with room rates typically ranging from $150 to $250 per night, depending on the season and room type. While they are transparent about pricing, we suggest confirming if meals or guided walks are included in your chosen package to manage your budget effectively.

How safe is the Parque Ecológico area surrounding del Paseo, and what precautions should we take?

We've always felt secure at del Paseo and within the well maintained Parque Ecológico. The lodge staff are vigilant, and we advise sticking to marked trails during guided excursions and being aware of your surroundings, as you would in any natural environment.

What makes del Paseo's setting within Parque Ecológico so special compared to other lodges in Costa Rica?

What truly sets del Paseo apart is its serene, almost secluded atmosphere within the heart of Parque Ecológico. Unlike busier reserves, here we felt a profound connection to nature, with the sounds of the rainforest providing a constant, soothing soundtrack – the sunsets over the canopy are simply sensational.
