The Great Outdoors
Amazing Vistas

Travel out of the modern hustle and bustle into the beauty of nature in its unadultered form.  Enjoy beautiful views everywhere you look as you leave all your worries behind and delve deeper into the slower pace of the natural world.

Bathe in the pristine mountains waters and let the crystal clarity of the Black Canyon River purify you.  Rancho Maximo is located just 12.5 km from the Santa Elena Cloud Forest, right next to the San Gerardo Biological Station in the mountains above Arenal Lake.  This area is home to many animals, old growth forests, and is the Golden Oriole breeding ground.  

Horses are the vehicle of transport to this camp.  There are no roads or cars here in the beautiful natural world.  Enjoy the slow pace of a world where horses set the pace. The trip is 12.5 kilometers. 

The forest is full of food and healing plants.  Let our naturalist, Maximo Ramirez, escort you into his world.  Maximo lives full-time in the beautiful forest and is happy to share his knowledge with you.  Experience life as a local, eat from the small farm and the forest, and relax into nature.
