Valle Escondido - Hidden Valley Farm

Bordered by land in conservation, Valle Escondido is placed within a natural corridor which protects endangered species such as the Margay, Olingo, Bellbird and Quetzal. You can also find the agouti, kinkajou, armadillo, two toed sloth, white-faced monkey, fox, prehensile-tailed porcupine, bats, and numerous reptiles as well as many species of insects and birds living amongst the tropical vegetation.

We invite you to walk the trails of the preserve or relax on a bench or hammock to experience the unpaired peace and tranquility found in the preserve, natural gifts which set it apart from other highly visited parks. Daily admittance is limited in order to avoid overcrowding or disrupting the habitat and all infrastructure design has been done within the ethics and principals of permaculture. We have four key areas of permaculture design.

At Valle Escondido Preserve, our priority is the conservation of the natural habitat, an intention that led us to plant over 1500 endemic trees since 2015 and keeps us working on a number of sustainability projects that include reforestation, permaculture design and regenerative land stewardship efforts.

Visitors can explore the trails at their own leisure, or book a professionally guided birdwatching or wildlife tour. The daily night tour is also not to be missed!

We also have an open air cafe with spectacular views and delicious affordable snacks and meals in which you can relax and replenish after your hike or tour. Alternatively, order a custom-prepared picnic basket to take to one of our garden and picnic table areas.
