Brief DescriptionQuinta Rio Cacao is located a short 5 minutes drive from the many shops and restaurants of downtown Fortuna (closer than Tabacon Resort and many of the larger local hotels), and about 20 minutes to the Arenal Volcano National Park. However, don’t let the super convenience of this location fool you. Quinta Rio Cacao is an exclusive, 1.5 acre lot with 140+ yards of private riverfront, discretely nestled on the dead end road to the Dendrobates wildlife reserve. This is the perfect place to escape from it all where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the tropical rain forest.

Cabina Los TucanesThere is a small, but modern log cabina called “Cabina Los Tucanes” (The Toucan Cabin) located on the property, a carport and concrete storage unit. The property is situated on a dead end road which leads to the Dendrobates reserve, from which the active Arenal volcano can be viewed, on clear days. The cabin is a mere 15 meters (50 feet) from this reserve, which is part of the largest block of protected area in Costa Rica. This conglomerate of Parks includes the Children’s Eternal Rainforest (Bosque lluvioso Eterno de los Niños) and is amongst Costa Rica’s most pristine and well protected natural resources.

Cabina Los Tucanes

The Rio Cacao (Chocolate River) is a fresh water creek coming out of the Dendrobates Reserve that runs clear year round and is home to trout, shrimp and other endemic species. It is the only natural border separating the cabin from this magnificent forest environment. Perhaps, now, you may better understand why it is possible, and common, to see dozens of toucans, aracaries, oro pendulas and other exotic species in the trees and sky immediately surrounding this magical cabin. This is a bird watchers paradise. The best part of Cabin Los Tucanes is terrace overlooking the creek and jungle.

Los Tucanes is a modern eco-friendly construction

Los Tucanes is a modern eco-friendly constructionCompleted in early 2007, the Cabin and garage comprise approximately 100 square feet of improvements. The cabin is a cozy (70m/800 sq ft) very comfortable design. We are also proud to say that not one tree was cut in the entire construction process, and the cabin is built up on stilts as to lessen its environmental impact and gain an even better vantage point of the river and jungle. Built from farmed Chilean pine this handsome cabin has high ceilings with ceiling fans throughout, and the double roof provides excellent air flow.

The Home

The home is fully screened with aluminum doors and windows and nicely finished with terracotta Spanish tiles and handmade Costa Rican window treatments and hardwood furniture, which enhances its rustic charm. There is a comfortable new king size bed, and dining and living room sets for four. The comfortable, ample kitchen, bathroom, closet, and terrace areas all provide a refreshing change from your standard hotel room or commercial ‘cabina’.

The Kitchen

The KitchenThe kitchen is well equipped, and includes an 18 cubic foot refrigerator, 4 burner gas stove and oven and hood extractor, a 9 piece teflon cook set, stainless cutlery and kitchen knives, ample cooking accessories, and a garbage disposal. Hot water in the bathroom, a safe in the closet and covered parking are all part of “Los Tucanes” amenities. There is also a concrete owners storage area built adjacent to the garage area.
