Des sentiers bien entretenus, et une nature (bota, avifaune, faune...) très accessible

La grosse voie routière non loin de là, sur tous mes enregistrements vidéo, on a en bruit de fond la circulation

An amazing stay at a Legendary research station!

10.0

The stay was even better than we imagined! The facility and staff were amazing and really friendly and helpful. This was my first time at the Legendary Biological reserve and it was even better than I thought it would be. Wildlife was all around, we went mainly looking for reptiles and amphibians and found a really good amount of species! Sloths were sighted around the main site and the trails were well maintained and signs were well kept. The food was great and the accomodation had great AC which was brilliant when coming back from a rainforest walk in 31 degrees! The reception area was also great where you can buy small snacks and sit outside on the balcony overlooking the canopy which was great.

Maybe one tiny thing would be if you don’t like coriandor they put it in more or less every meal.

Our stay at La Selva Biological station was wonderful, it’s a little gem in the middle of the jungle

10.0

Being in the middle of the jungle was a wonderful experience. All the staff were very helpful and passionate about nature. We had a very great experience.

The bedroom was simple with no AC which can be difficult with the high temperature but it was not really a problem for us as it was more environmentally friendly and conscious.

Le lieu, la chambre, les guides.

La nourriture est un peu basique (cantine)
