Completely designed according to bio-climatic specifications, the lodge also offers stunning views of the Tenorio and Miravalles volcanoes.

Activities and Amenities

Celeste Mountain Lodge’s deceptively unassuming countenance hides a plethora of action packed nature and adventure centric activities. The lodge organizes several excursions and tours such as the Celeste Trail (enjoy an hour ad half of hiking along the verdant ravines, which are home to innumerable bird species, butterflies, monkeys and indigenous trees), a trip to Rio Celeste/ National Park Volcan Tenorio (guests can enjoy a stunning blue lagoon and hot spring bath at the end of the trail), horseback riding, cycling and hiking around the Bijagua area. The more intrepid visitors can head for a rafting sojourn on the Rio Tenorio, while the comparatively less courageous beings can seek their vacation ‘nirvana’ by floating on the unruffled Corobici River. Look out for the spectacular river, lagoons and conservation area of the National Fauna Sanctuary by embarking on an exciting boat ride. Culture buffs can be fed a staple diet of exotic local crafts and traditions at Guatuso (local Maleku Indian communities settlement).

Celeste Mountain’s in house amenities include a restaurant (featuring panoramic views and serving “Tica-Fusion” cuisine), a bar (with terrace), relaxing tropical hot baths amidst enclosed gardens, a reading area (that opens into the garden) and a Joelette (special seat for guests with reduced mobility.
