Journey to the lush foothills of Bijagua, a tranquil region nestled between the majestic Miravalles and Tenorio volcanoes. Known as the land of “two waters,” Bijagua’s fertile soil and abundant rainfall have nurtured not only an astonishing variety of wildlife but also a rich tradition of farming and culinary heritage.

Your experience begins with an immersion into Costa Rica’s cultural roots. Guided by local hosts, you’ll explore the fascinating world of coffee and chocolate — from bean to cup and pod to bar. Learn the secrets of traditional roasting and grinding methods that have been passed down for generations. Savor the deep aromas of freshly brewed coffee and the smooth, earthy richness of handcrafted chocolate, made the old-fashioned way.

No visit would be complete without tasting Costa Rican home-style cooking. You’ll roll out warm, fresh tortillas over a wood-fired griddle and top them with soft local cheese, then sip refreshing sugar cane juice pressed on-site. These simple, authentic flavors capture the essence of Bijagua’s rural life.

As you wander through this verdant region, keep your senses open to the vibrant sounds and sights of the rainforest. Listen for the chirps and calls of tropical birds — toucans, hummingbirds, and motmots are often seen here — and seek out the tiny yet dazzling tree frogs hiding among the foliage. Their vivid colors and nighttime calls add magic to the experience.

For those who wish to deepen their connection with Bijagua’s natural wonders, you can add a Sloth Search & Discovery. Guided by local experts, venture into the lush forests to spot these iconic, gentle creatures resting high in the treetops. Witness their unhurried movements and, if you’re lucky, see mothers cradling their young — a truly heartwarming sight.

This journey to Bijagua blends the warmth of Costa Rican hospitality, the richness of its agricultural traditions, and the splendor of its wildlife. It’s more than a tour — it’s an invitation to experience the soul of rural Costa Rica.
