Guests may see a variety of wildlife on the property, including green parrots, toucans, deer, and even tapirs. The property includes ungroomed hiking trails that allow you to explore the natural beauty at your own pace. Nearby trails offer additional opportunities for hiking and experiencing the rich biodiversity of the region.
Mystical Lake Cote and Cultural Significance
A visit to Casa Tres Vistas wouldn’t be complete without exploring the mystical Lake Cote, an easy 25 minute walk or 5 minute drive from the house. The heart shaped crater lake is ensconced between the rainforests of Tenorio Volcano National Park and Lake Arenal. Lake Cote has been a spiritual center for the indigenous Maleku and possibly many other tribes across South and Central America for centuries. In the Maleku language, Cote means peace and love. It is steeped in legend and history, famous for the National Geographic Institute of Costa Rica's undisputed photograph of a UFO (Spanish- OVNI) exiting the lake in 1971, adding an element of intrigue and mystery to your stay.

A SPECIAL NOTE:
Please remember that you are vacationing in the Cloud Forest. We are near the Continental Divide and Costa Rica has multiple microclimates causing very unique weather patterns. There will be rain :) The "dry-er" season is December- April. We provide rain boots, swim shoes, umbrellas and rain gear for most adult and some child sizes. There will be wind (you will see beautiful windmills on the horizon over Lake Arenal.) The house sits at 2700 ft above sea level. If you wake up in a cloud with rain, it does not mean that you need to cancel your plans. It could be dry at the bottom of the road or in La Fortuna and vice versa. Weather apps are not very accurate in this area. :) Tours/activities will continue to run in the rain as long as it is deemed safe. Just call your tour provider.
We recommend renting a small SUV style car for all driving in Costa Rica but it's especially good for exploring this area. You do not need a 4x4 to get to the house but a higher clearance vehicle such as a RAV 4 (frequently rented here) is recommended. When you turn off the main paved road, it turns into a groomed dirt/rock road. Most of CR does not have traditional addresses. We will send a location pin and all directions a few days before your arrival.
There will be bugs outside that may sometimes get inside, especially if doors are left open and outside lights left on.
Brief power outages are rare but sometimes occur in CR. We have flashlights, candles and a back up battery for the refrigerator. We have no control over these things but we have a full staff that are only a phone call away to help with anything you need.
Upon booking, we will send you a guide book with all of the area FAQ's, restaurants, private chefs, activities, tours. We are available if you have any questions!
We can't wait to host you at Casa Tres Vistas, Pura Vida!
