PAID CONTENT FOR COLINA SECRETA GLAMPING & VILLAS


Colina Secreta Glamping & Villas PUERTO VIEJO DE TALAMANCA, COSTA RICA


Hidden within the rainforest of Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean coast, Colina Secreta Glamping & Villas offers a stay shaped by stories, nature and exploration. Created by travellers, the property was conceived as a space where memories, discoveries and objects collected around the world are woven into accommodation immersed in the jungle. Set within a former cacao plantation near Puerto


Viejo and Playa Cocles, the six-acre grounds bring boutique hospitality to a wildlife-rich piece of tropical forest. Each tent, villa and suite pays tribute to an explorer, writer, artist or adventurer whose journeys inspired generations of travellers, including Ernest Hemingway, Karen Blixen and Alexander von Humboldt. Collected treasures and timeless furnishings


create interiors rich in character. Guests may encounter a French travel trunk dating from the 1700s, antique maps, vintage books and artefacts gathered during decades of travel. One of the property’s most distinctive collections consists of more than 250 National Geographic magazines, including editions dating back to 1951.


Nature remains an inseparable part of daily


life. Guests wake to the sounds of the rainforest as howler monkeys call from the canopy and tropical birds announce the arrival of a new day. Sloths are frequently spotted in the surrounding trees, while frogs, butterflies and other wildlife thrive. Conservation also plays an important role in the


property’s philosophy. Habitat restoration efforts include planting native tree species that provide food and shelter for local wildlife, helping create favourable habitat for the endangered great green macaw and supporting regional biodiversity. Breakfast begins with a complimentary tasting


of highland Tarrazú coffee before guests enjoy fresh tropical fruit, artisan breads, homemade preserves and Caribbean-inspired dishes. Beyond the reserve, travellers can discover Afro-


Caribbean culture, the heritage of the Indigenous Bribri people and the cacao traditions of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. Yet many find their most memorable moments take place within Colina Secreta itself, whether listening to the jungle awaken at dawn or relaxing beneath the forest canopy.
