The Pension El Sueño is a family owned and operated lodge
in the center of Santa Elena, a small village next to the
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. A favorite for budget travelers
and backpackers, the lodging is hosted by a family originally
from the Monteverde area. The eating/kitchen and reception
areas are surrounded by the rooms, all with their outside
private entrances. Three new rooms have been recently built
at the back of the property. Breakfast is served daily between
6 and 8 a.m. and is very reasonably priced. Lunch and dinner
are also available at good prices, and a homemade lunch
will be made to go upon request, if you're spending the
day in one of the nearby parks. The friendly owner, Rafa
Trejos and his family, are helpful hosts, and offer horseback
tours from their nearby farm. A number of horseback tours
are available. When you're finished visiting the Monteverde
area, a one-way trip to the Arenal Lake and Volcano by horseback
may be an exciting part of your vacation. The trip lasts
four and a half hours, and takes you across the Tilaran
Mountain Range past the spectacular views of the cloud forest
and the volcano. It is a great adventure for backpackers
and allows to carry on with your travel adventure from the
Lake Arenal and La Fortuna area. An extra pack horse with
take all your extra luggage or backpacks. Taxes are included
in the above rates. |
