Panorama helps the community by managing a free-whey community project and is an example of integrated farming and humane animal husbandry. Panorama is located on Rancho El Rio, a peaceful sustainable farm and wildlife paradise by the Río Guacimal, and is perfect for families or larger groups. Come stay with us in our rustic 3bed/1bath cabin and experience sustainable farming initiatives, spend the day swimming in the river or hiking through the forest, and take day trips to the cloud forest (30 minutes away).

Panorama is a lovely, farm cabin with gorgeous views. With large picturesque windows, you’ll enjoy the view of the tropical mountain landscape as you relax in the hammock. We provide you with free organic coffee from our sister farm in Monteverde for the first morning of your stay for you to settle in and enjoy the beauty of our farm.

Panorama features handcrafted wood furnishings made from local sustainably-harvested wood, custom slate floor, and beautiful naturescape murals painted by a local community artist. With three bedrooms and one bathroom, Panorama easily sleeps up to 7 people. Two of the bedrooms have full sized beds, and the middle room has a bunkbed. You’ll be able to enjoy the view from all areas of the house – the kitchen and living room look out across the farm to the tropical mountain, and each bedroom has large picture windows. Our fully-equipped kitchen is a great place to cook your own meals, or enjoy traditional Costa Rican meals cooked by our neighbors from the local community and delivered to you.

Relax on the wraparound covered patio in one of the hammocks or rocking chairs, and make sure to say hello to the goats, sheep, and pigs who may wander up the hill to the fence looking for a tidbit of extra food. You’re sure to see a variety of wildlife while taking in the surrounding view, and will love the vibrant sunsets in this tropical paradise.

The farmhouse is just two minutes walking distance from the river, and our guests love spending time exploring the river in addition to the various trails that run throughout our farm and surrounding forest. We have a variety of animals on our sustainable farm, including rescue dogs and cats, donkeys, horses, cows, water buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs, geese, and chickens. We grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, and encourage our guests to try the fresh mangoes and starfruit that grow throughout our property. We also encourage our guests to join us in learning about our farm work, and are happy to have your company when collecting fresh eggs or taking a horseback riding tour around the farm.

This is a working sustainable farm in rural Costa Rica, meaning that your stay with us will be close to nature and certainly a unique adventure-- please consider this before you book a farmstay with us, as this experience is not for all travelers. If you are looking for luxury accommodations or a place without bugs and critters, this is not the place to stay. If you are looking for a chance to reconnect with nature and experience authentic Costa Rican beauty, this will be the highlight of your trip! Our farm animals are very friendly, especially our dogs and cats, and they may follow you around when you adventure through the farm or go for a swim in the river.

We provide guests with the option of ordering homemade meals that are delivered straight to your doorstep! Please arrange with us ahead of time if you would like meals (breakfasts, lunches, and/or dinners) prepared throughout your stay.
