We recommend visiting during Costa Rica's dry season, roughly December through April, for the most comfortable weather and excellent birdwatching opportunities, particularly for quetzals. While the cloud forest is always beautiful, the trails are less muddy and the skies clearer for those sensational views during these months.

We find Cabañas Valle Campanas to be wonderfully cozy and authentic, offering a true sense of place amidst the cloud forest.

Cabañas Valle Campanas is conveniently located just a short drive from the entrance to Curi-Cancha, making it incredibly practical for early morning visits.
