"A serene retreat close to Rio, Celeste, and national Park, even though there was a bit of language barrier. The front desk was kind and we figured it out. She even helped us book a night tour. The property grounds were beautiful. It felt like you were in the jungle. There is no AC, but there is fans in the room. The hammock outside the Villa was a nice touch and you had your own privacy. It’s not a huge room but cosy enough and clean and hot water, which is a huge plus . We seen a Pezzotti by...

"The location was perfect for seeing Rio Celeste and other rainforest tours. Everyone was really friendly and the food was great. Communication was somewhat interesting because I hadn’t brushed up on my Spanish enough but we made it work! The bed wasn’t super comfortable, shower didn’t get very hot and the walls weren’t exactly soundproof but for the price it was still a good value. I’d definitely stay here again!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Los Chiles?
The best area to stay in Los Chiles is typically near the center of town, particularly along the main road leading to the Río Frío docks.

This central area is where you'll find the most amenities, including local eateries, shops, and the main departure points for boat tours into the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge. The town is relatively small, so staying centrally means everything is within easy reach. Travelers interested in wildlife excursions will find this location convenient for early morning departures.

For those seeking a more secluded experience, there are a few lodges situated just outside the main town, closer to the natural areas of the Río Frío. These options often provide a more rustic experience with direct access to nature.

The reduced rainfall means the rivers are typically calmer and at optimal levels for boat tours, which are a highlight of a trip to Los Chiles. This period offers the most comfortable weather for outdoor activities and wildlife viewing.

For travelers interested in birdwatching, the dry season is particularly rewarding. Many migratory birds are present, and the drier conditions can make spotting wildlife along the riverbanks easier.
