Jardín Escondido -

Lodging

At the Hidden Garden, guests can experience the magic of the rainforest while leaving a minimal environmental footprint. As you enter the Garden and smell the ylang ylang, roses and gardenias blooming, you can feel the harmony with nature that is created by living with respect for the beautiful rainforest. Hummingbirds, butterflies, sloths, iguanas, monkeys and human visitors all enjoy the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plants. Although we are only ten minutes walk from PuertoViejos’s coral reef beaches and delicious international restaurants, it is quiet, with no through traffic or nearby neighbors. Combine the silence with orthopedic mattresses, no street lights and lots of oxygen, and it is easy to relax and get a fantastic night’s sleep. Favorite guest activites include hiking in the rainforest, lounging on the beach, perusing our wellness library, or experimenting with new recipes in our spacious, sunny kitchen.

Meals

Hidden Garden guests often request nutritional advice or cleansing fasts from one of our health counselors. Other guests come with specialized diets prescribed by doctors or recommended by other practitioners. Many visitors know which changes they want to make in their diets, but are not sure where to start. In our kitchen there is something for everyone. We offer primarily organic and locally-grown produce, vegan and raw foods, freshly-prepared traditional dishes and medicinal meals that will convince anyone that healthy eating can be delectably delicious!
