Finca Rio Perla (FRP) is a 240 acre (100 hectare) farm located in a countryside paradise on the slopes of Volcan Turrialba in the Caribbean Highlands of Costa Rica,.with elevations ranging from about 1,000 to 2,250 feet (350 to 750 meters).
Being high in the Caribbean, we are blessed with moderate temperatures,
great breezes, amazing views, and relative lack of nasty insects (like
mosquitos). HIGH IN THE CARIBBEAN
We are located off the main road between the capital San Jose and the Caribbean port town Limon, about 60 miles (100 km) east of San Jose and about 40 miles (60km) west of Limon. FRP is close to Siquirres (a major transport and commercial hub in the area) and the small town Alegria. We are also near Earth University and rafting on the Pacuare River, and transport links to Caribbean beaches and Torteguero. We are connected to national/municipal water, electricity, telephone and internet systems. Thus, we are accessible and connected, yet remote and independent.
Finca Rio Perla has many farm activities (e.g. cattle, sheep, chickens, tilapia fish ponds, vegetable gardens, cheese making, and egg collection, macadamia nuts), horseback riding, nature walks, and other adventures in a natural setting. We offer traditional Tico food that is primarily vegetarian with dairy and eggs, and also tilapia from the farm. In addition, we have a variety of places for overnight lodging, all rustic but comfortable.
Our many amazing (yes, MANY and AMAZING) waterfalls and natural pools are breathtaking., relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating. Go horseback riding, hiking to waterfalls, swim in our natural ponds, go fishing in the tilapia ponds, view/listen to the many birds, take a walk through the fields, or macadamia trees, or sit back and relax.
Your visit at Finca Rio Perla will be hosted by a Tico family (Efrain & Vivian, and Manuel) which provides a unique opportunity to explore, experience, and connect with the authentic Costa Rica. A great opportunity to learn and/or practice Spanish!!! And a great opportunity to learn and/or practice Tico cooking.
Our farm activities are based on both traditional and new practices and technologies that maintain and nurture the environment. We are striving toward organic and natural production and processing practices and technologies. We call our balanced and eclectic approach to sustainable living: Agro-Eco Pragmatism. In this way we challenge ourselves to think and act locally and globally. We do not pretend to have all the answers ... but we are trying to ask the driving questions about the relationships between humans and nature and development.
