by a family native to Monteverde.
Los Pinos is a “Tico” (Costa Rican) family company that has been here in Monteverde since its origins. We are dedicated to the sustainable lodging of couples or families, in fully equipped cabins; we also protect our private reserve and the forest by calculating and reducing our ecological footprint. We participate on and support local development initiatives for the Monteverde community, as this is the environment that we live on.
Over the past 26 years, we have learned from our guests, that a high quality and an authentic service, is the best form of recommendation, for which we thrive to fully accomplish these aspects.
We, the Los Pinos Family, believe in the healthy interaction between the visitor and the environment, so that they can both coexist, without damaging the natural equilibrium that allows Monteverde, to be the most visited Cloud Forest in the World.
Each and every one of our collaborators represent our spirit. Our success is based on our unique culture and work atmosphere. We are passionate and proud, we care for the environment, the well-being of our collaborators and community, and are focused on exceeding our guest’s expectations at all times.
