Around the building and on our private “Celeste Trail” of 1.7 km in the primary forest, wildlife is abundant, often offering the opportunity to see monkeys (howlers and capuchins), an extensive list of birds including many toucans, hummingbirds or small parrots but also rarer species, butterflies, mammals such as the tapir that passes on the property. You will discover a very rich vegetation with trees and vines several hundred years old, a great diversity of plants.
The views are impressive, with the arrogant Montezuma (3rd bump of the Tenorio volcano), an arrogant green wall facing the Lodge that sometimes mysteriously disappears into temporary mists. To the west, the five peaks of the Miravalles volcano close the horizon like a curtain of theatre. Further down, in the valley, lies the peaceful rural village of Bijagua.
The heights of Celeste Mountain Lodge offer a constant spring climate with temperatures ranging from 18 to 30 degrees, always caressed by a pleasant breeze. The region is humid, with an average annual rainfall of 4000 mm, with the (dry) summer months of February to May, August and October.
