San Gerardo de Dota Hotels

Nestled in the foothills of the Talamanca Mountains along the beautiful Savegre River in a misty cloud forest setting, San Gerardo de Dota's 7,000-foot elevation provides exceptional birdwatching. Nearby the Los Quetzales National Park attracts different species of birds and animals that are only seen in the cooler, wetter atmosphere of a cloud forest, such as the elusive Resplendent Quetzal considered to be one of the most beautiful birds in the world. Lodging can be found within private wildlife reserves featuring nature trails and waterfalls with guided birding tours for in-house guests. Other amenities include laundry, picnic basket, and spa services, kids' playground, trout pond, and fireplaces for those cool crisp nights. Family friendly lodges, as well as individual bungalows, cater to your specific needs. Trails lead from the quiet village center along the river to a magnificent waterfall. Adventure tours and art galleries are available in the area.
