The place
The only sound here is water.
Bajos del Toro is a small mountain village between the volcanoes of Costa Rica’s Central Range, known as “the village of waterfalls.” With only a few hundred residents it is one of the least populated districts in the country: clean air, cool weather all year and a forest that reaches your doorstep.
Quintas Parque del Agua sits at the end of the road, very close to the National Park entrance. A place to build your retreat, raise your kids close to nature or retire in peace.
