Looking for a one-of-a-kind Costa Rican experience? Just 30 minutes from Bella Vista Private Resort, you’ll find an unforgettable adventure at The Monkey House, followed by an enjoyable evening at Playa Caldera.
Play with Monkeys in Costa Rica
Nestled in the backyard of a local family’s home, The Monkey House is one of Costa Rica’s best-kept secrets. Here, friendly capuchin monkeys swing from the trees and may even climb right onto your arms, shoulders, or head. It’s a unique, interactive encounter that brings you closer to Costa Rica’s incredible wildlife in a way that large tourist attractions simply can’t.
This authentic experience feels intimate, natural, and unforgettable – perfect for travelers looking for something truly special.
Playa Caldera – Food & Sunset by the Beach
After your monkey adventure, head just minutes away to Playa Caldera. Known for its laid-back charm, this beach is lined with local food vendors serving classic Costa Rican dishes like fresh seafood, ceviche, empanadas, and grilled plantains.
Grab a plate, sit back, and watch as the sun paints the Pacific horizon in brilliant shades of orange and pink. It’s a true taste of pura vida living.
