“Tucán House - Unique”

Reviewed 20 Oct 2021

The house is so cool. It’s in the jungle with fresh fruit trees, has all kinds of wildlife (many birds), local places to swim in a couple different rivers, Poas Volcano, and a ton of waterfalls in the area. It is a very local experience as Gloria can arrange home cooked meals by neighbors, get milk and cheese next door, and even moonshine down the street
