Bijagua, Costa Rica
Bijagua is surrounded by rainforest full of plants and animals. It is our home, and we would love to show you around.
Getting to know Bijagua
Bijagua is a small town in northern Costa Rica that sits between two volcanoes, one of them Tenorio Volcano. All around town, the land is green with rainforest, and that forest is full of life: frogs, birds, sloths, monkeys, butterflies and plants you may never have seen before.
This rich flora and fauna is the reason so many travellers, from Costa Rica and abroad, come to visit. Birdwatchers come for the hummingbirds and toucans, photographers for the colorful frogs, and families simply to walk in a living forest.
Our family has lived here since 1992. On our 5.5 hectares we have planted trees and protected three springs and a small wetland, so native species have a home. You can read more in our story.
