Staying at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve offers a truly unique experience to anyone interested nature.
Those who come and stay at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve will be able to explore one of the most biologically diverse tropical rainforest sites on the planet while also enjoying the comforts of staying in a modern, clean, and cozy guesthouse.
EXCLUSIVITY: Apart from the amazing biodiversity that is so abundant within our privately owned Guayacán Rainforest Reserve, another aspect that we pride ourselves on is the limited and very exclusive manner in which we receive our visitors. Here at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve we receive only a single reservation at a time, whether that be one person traveling alone, a family, or a group of friends traveling together. Anyone who makes a reservation to come to stay at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve will have the guesthouse and our entire private reserve exclusively to themselves. This allows our guests to have the most rewarding and intimate experience with nature, free from the noisy crowds often found at other sites. Additionally, due to the limited amount of visitors being allowed access to our private reserve, the nature here is much more abundant and intact.
EASY ACCESS TO THE RESERVE: Within the nearly 50 hectare (125 acres) Guayacán Rainforest Reserve there are more than 3 kilometers (2 miles) of well-maintained trails for our guests to use. The trails were designed to allow our guests to comfortably and safely observe and experience the forest and its amazing biodiversity.
SECURITY: The Guayacán Rainforest Reserve is very safe and secure. Due to the very exclusive manner in which we run our reserve, only receiving one reservation at a time, and being 100% family run, the guesthouse, garden area and reserve are very safe and secure. The only people within the entire Guayacán Rainforest Reserve are the 4 members of the Kubicki family and the guests staying in the guesthouse. We keep the gate at the entrance to our property locked day and night. Our guests who are staying in the guesthouse at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve are given keys to the lock on the gate so that they can enter and leave if needed at their convenience.
GUESTHOUSE: The guesthouse at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve provides enjoyable accommodations for our guests, having a living room area, fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom with a shower that has hot water, two bedrooms, and two large porches to enjoy the abundant nature that surrounds. The main bedroom has a full-sized bed. The second bedroom has one full-sized bed and a bunk-style bed with a full-sized bed below and a twin-sized bed above. The C.R.A.R.C. guesthouse can comfortably accommodate up to seven people.
GARDEN AREA: Surrounding the guesthouse is a large garden area that hosts a very impressive diversity of flora and fauna. One needs not to walk very far from the guesthouse, literally only a matter of meters, to be able to observe some iconic biological diversity such as red-eyed leaf frogs and poison frogs. Even if you just feel like taking a break to relax during your travels one does not need to even leave the porches to observe some of the impressive nature that is so abundant in the garden area. Dozens of species of amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and insects can be found in the garden area alone. The gardens surrounding the guesthouse also present a mixture of both native and non-native tropical plants, including Brian Kubicki’s personal collection of more than 100 species of palms, many of which are extremely rare. In addition to being able to observe in person some of the most bizarre and rarest palm species in the world, our visitors that have an interest in botany will also be extremely entertained while they spend some time exploring the gardens searching for some of the dozens of species of orchids, aroids, bromeliads, and others beautiful species that can be found there. Even with all this diversity in the gardens surrounding the guesthouse, this is only the appetizer compared to the diversity of flora and fauna that can be seen in abundance in the main reserve.
AN AMAZING PLACE FOR BIRDERS TOO: Despite the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve being under the radar of many birders, the diversity of avian species that can be seen within the property is very impressive.
