The Perch — or "Posada de Pajaros" — is a spacious, airy, newly-built home on a slice of mountainside hanging over the Buena Vista river and the sweep of the Pacific Ocean. Breezes are nearly constant. The views are varied and assertive. Iguanas peer back at you from treetops, troops of monkeys traipse overhead, and birds and butterflies sweep by in abundance. A place to relax, feel at home while away, and a basecamp from which to explore stunning Guanacaste.

La Caravana. Beach front Airstream living

There is something very special and adventurous about stay in vintage Airstream Overlander from 1967. Even thought she is stationary, it feels like being drifted away at any moment for an unforgettable traveler's experience. A cozy, creative, minimalistic camper can be the perfect choice included in your trip in Costa Rica. Tiny living doesn't mean space limits, but being inspired by bold design, smart hacks and spending more time in connection with nature.
