Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit La Villa Río Segundo to fully enjoy Parque Natural Urbano Lorne Ross and its wildlife?

We recommend visiting during Costa Rica's dry season, typically from December to April. The trails in Parque Natural Urbano Lorne Ross are more accessible then, and wildlife spotting, especially birds and sloths, is often easier as animals congregate around remaining water sources. The weather is generally pleasant, perfect for exploring the urban park.

La Villa Río Segundo offers a wonderfully tranquil and intimate guesthouse experience, a true escape from the bustle of larger resorts.
