"to view the jungle from high above the tree line is one of the most rewarding experiences, and certainly one of the top joys of life."
This is not just your ordinary accommodation. We are offering the ultimate 3-in-1 Costa Rica Tour Adventure. Our unique concept rings people closer to the nature than ever before. Live your real fairytale high up the canopy in the middle of unspoiled jungle. We promise you a true life-changing experience:
1. Hike through real prime rainforest.
2. Climb 25 meters (8 stories) high up the tree.
3. Spend a night up on the tree in the middle of the jungle.
The Observatorio project is truly unique, and it is quite simple. We want to prove that a living tree is more valuable than a dead tree. All types of forests, and especially tropical rain forests, are disappearing. The reason is that in our “modern society,” a living tree has little or no value. So it is cut. Turned into lumber and by-products. The land-use is transformed. Every day, precious hectares of rain forest are being converted into cow fields and banana plantations. And once it's done, it's done. An Emergens, the oldest and tallest trees in the jungle, have an irreplaceable role in the ecosystem of Planet Earth.
This project is probably unparalleled in human history. Suspended on nylon straps, the Observatorio is built in place, assembled like a “lego” project, high in the air, without harming the tree in any way. Not a single nail or screw is used in its emplacement. It may also be the first house-like structure to be built from the top down. It has two floors (the first about 25 mt. from the ground), of approximately 60 m². It is light, modern and removable. The plan is to keep it on our “nispero” tree for five to seven years. Then it will be removed, refurbished and reassembled on a different tree. Our goal is always to keep everything as eco-friendly as is humanly possible.
Rain water is supplying the Observatorio and its modern bathroom. Solar energy is providing electricity for all the usual home conveniences, including an elevator to pull you up from the forest floor. Or you may choose to climb under your own power, for a good workout. A hatch in the roof is allowing access to the very top of the tree, another 30m above. The entire structure weighs only 2.200kg. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, and downstairs is your viewing platform. The 360° panoramic vista encompasses the surrounding greenery, as well as the Caribbean Ocean stretching out to the eastern horizon, and the blue tropical sky above.
Enjoy wonderful nature hike through primary forest, exercise yourself climbing up the tree with ropes, and feel fresh air from the ocean and incredible views of trees, animals and birds from our canopy. You can climb yourself up or you can be comfortable pulled up with an elevation system. Its a modern unique design, not a single nail is harming the tree. We use solar panels for led lights, an eco-toilet and shower with rain water.
The canopy of the rain forest, is a vast, fascinating and virtually unexplored frontier. There are unlimited possibilities for discoveries. Working side-by-side with local Indian tribesmen, we are able to support indigenous communities while we learn their traditional ways of coexisting with nature.
To arrive we will walk for about 45 minutes inside the forest from where we park the car. Observatorio has two bedrooms, each equipped with queen size bed. Therefore our overnight capacity is up to 4 persons. Breakfast and dinner are included in the price as well as fruits, drinks and snacks.
This project is only for adventure and nature lovers. If you don't want to spend the night there you can just visit it for a half or full day tour. Either or, you are up for something very special. We will be delighted to welcome you in our Amazing Treehouse.
Vip package - special "jungle room service" delivery of hot dinner with one bottle of wine per couple right before the sunset and traditional Costa Rican supreme breakfast served in the morning is available for $30 per person.
