The area around the Sarapiquí River is one of Costa Rica’s best natural destinations and Sueño Azul the finest hotel in the area.The hotel prides itself on its unique rustic elegance where good taste and nature combine to make it the ideal destination for rest and relaxation.  So come and detoxify your body and soul at Sueño Azul, the perfect match of nature and comfort

Your trip begins in the small town of Las Horquetas de Sarapiquí, accessible by bus, car, taxi, or small plane. There you can buy your last supplies (boots, hats, rain gear, flashlights, etc.) before you board a tractor-pulled cart, for the four-hour, 15-kilometer voyage. First you cross two rivers, riding through if the water is low or crossing a swinging foot-bridge when they’ve risen with the rains. Rara Avis has remained pristine because of its inaccessibility: along the way you will see firsthand how rain forests have been cut down wherever they are near roads.

The “EL CORRAL” restaurant was built on the property’s antique stable. Come and taste the wide variety of local (traditional) and international dishes in a nice and cozy environment, while enjoying the impressive landscape surrounding you. Sophisticated as well as vegetarian dishes are served and they will be glad to accommodate any special dietetic request.   There is also a coffee shop and the “LA CAZONA” bar, built more than a century ago.

On certain nights, Sueño Azul offers “Typical Nights” show where you will witness attractive cultural traditions of Costa Rica’s cattle-raising zones.
