Sustainable Tourism in Costa Rica: Experience a Unique Stay Inside a Living Botanical Garden

Hotel de Campo Caño Negro offers an unparalleled experience in sustainable tourism in Costa Rica. Unique among hotels in Costa Rica, our property is built within a lush, expansive botanical garden that we have cultivated for over 28 years. This living sanctuary becomes your home for authentic birdwatching and ecotourism adventures, offering an immersive environment where nature takes center stage.

Our botanical garden exemplifies sustainable living. Driven by a passion for native and exotic plants, generations of local knowledge about flora and fauna, and a deep commitment to conservation, we have successfully grown over 200 species, including native trees, fruit-bearing plants, medicinal herbs, ornamental species, and valuable timber. Our ongoing reforestation efforts prioritize native plants, ensuring the preservation and growth of Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity.

A Botanical Garden Made for Birding in Costa Rica

About 28 years ago, inspired by a love of birdwatching and ecotourism in Costa Rica, we began this project on five hectares of land. Today, it’s a thriving ecosystem where every tree, flower, and fruit is part of a conservation-driven vision. We’ve watched these plants grow, blossom, and bear fruit, attracting countless species of Costa Rican birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles that find food, shelter, and nesting sites here.

Our botanical garden is far more than a collection of plants — it’s a vital habitat for wildlife, carefully designed to support and nurture local biodiversity. As we plant new species, we thoughtfully consider which butterflies, hummingbirds, frogs, monkeys, and other creatures will thrive and reproduce naturally within this protected environment.

This dedication makes Hotel de Campo Caño Negro one of the premier birding lodges in Costa Rica, where nature-loving guests can observe a wide array of species in their natural habitat. Today, the garden is home to dozens of animal species, offering an authentic birdwatching experience infused with conservation and respect for Costa Rica’s invaluable ecosystems.
