Naturalists, students, researchers, and anyone else who is interested in nature are encouraged to come visit us at the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center’s Guayacán Rainforest Reserve and stay in our modern and fully-furnished guesthouse. The guesthouse at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve is a small private home that is dedicated to the exclusive use of providing clean and comfortable lodging for our visitors, whether that be a single person traveling alone, a family, or group of friends. The Guesthouse at the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve provides enjoyable accommodations for our guests, having a living room area, fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and two large porches to enjoy the abundant nature that surrounds. The sink and shower in the bathroom have hot water. The main bedroom has a full-sized bed. The second bedroom has two bunk-style beds, one with a full-sized bed below and a twin-sized bed above, while the other is a standard twin-sized bunk bed. The C.R.A.R.C. guesthouse can comfortably accommodate up to seven people.
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 an astonishing biological diversity. 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 invertebrates 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 a 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 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. Despite the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve likely being under the radar of many birders, the diversity of avian species that can be seen within the reserve is very impressive. Come visit us on your next trip to Costa Rica, we are very confident that the nature observation and time spent within the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve will be among the top highlights of your trip to this amazing country!
