My wife and I spent a night in the treehouse as part of our honeymoon in Costa Rica. Firstly, Peter is an excellent host with obvious enthusiasm for the natural environment and he provides a wealth of local knowledge. The house itself is a triumph of innovative design and construction and sits in perfect harmony with its surroundings. The experience... More

We spend night in the Observatorio. Seen all kind of monkey's, Tucans and stayed in great luxury with dinner delivered to the bottom of the tree. Climbing up was a great fun! Even for those who don't feel like it Peter have a winch to pull you up. Found out a lot about the rain forest and it's natural state... More

Host and guide, Peter, is a wealth of knowledge pointing out many fascinating creatures along the way - our kids were entranced. The climb up to the tree house was amazing - 6 year old was pulled up, 9 year old was able... More

What a fantastic, unforgettable experience. We were staying in Peter and Isabel's house in Manzanillo and took the opportunity to spend the day in the jungle with Peter. How amazing to walk through pristine rain forest spotting poison dart frogs, margay tracks, jaguar claw marks on tree roots, splashing through streams and slowly climbing up until we reached the base...

What a wonderful original sustainable idea, and beautifully executed! My fiancé and I spent the night in the observatorio. It was wonderful, the walk out to the tree was a jungle tour in itself, with Peter pointing out many interesting things, then climbing up into the tree was fantastic fun, and then Peter left us to it with a great...

There's little to add to all the other positive reviews of this great experience. Peter's love of the forest comes shining through and adds greatly to the experience. Climbing up to the Observatorio was a great experience, but it is quite strenuous. For those less fit, there is an electric winch (powered by a rechargeable battery charged with a solar... More

This is an amazing project/"hotel"/observatory in the beautiful forest in Manzanillo where Peter and some local companions have built a fabulous tree house 25m up in a huge tree. Peter arranges treks of the jungle including a climb to the tree house and the wonderful views and atmosphere there. Staying the night there is truly magical and was the highlight... More
