Los Campesinos Reserve

On the Campesino Reserve Tour, you will learn about this farming community cooperative, dedicated to environmentally friendly rural tourism, part of the rich local culture of Quebrada Arroyo, about 25 km east of Manuel Antonio and Quepos. With 33 hectares of primary and secondary forest Campesino is a pristine refuge for nature lovers who enjoy tranquility and beauty.

Your naturalist guide will give you an overview of the many medicinal plants native to the region, as well as the natural, sustainable cultivation and fertilization processes employed by the cooperative members. Your guides will show you how sugar cane juice is extracted in the “trapiches” and give you some samples of this flavorful nectar. You will enjoy light hiking on nature trails, and traverse along the treetops on the “lifeline” suspension bridge that stretches 127 meters while observing many species of birds and fauna.

Once you reach the El Mirador El Pueblo vista point, you will have a beautiful panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, the Savegre River, neighboring villages, and the southern beaches of Manuel Antonio. Have your camera ready so you can capture some photos of the Campesino Reserve’s stunning waterfall. If you like take a dip into the refreshing natural pool before returning to the lodge for lunch.
