We've consistently spotted howler monkeys, capuchins, and sloths right on the property or very close by, and the birdlife, including toucans and scarlet macaws, is simply spectacular. Within Finca Baru, the guided tours often reveal anteaters, coatis, and a remarkable array of amphibians and reptiles, making every walk an adventure.

What is the 'guesthouse' experience truly like at Arena y Sol – is it immersive or more of a simple base?

We find Arena y Sol offers a wonderfully intimate and authentic Costa Rican guesthouse experience; it feels like staying with welcoming friends rather than a sterile hotel.
