About Us
Cafe Escondido is majestically placed on the mountainside of Valle Escondido Preserve in Monteverde, a captivating private nature preserve on the edge of a stunning river valley.
The restaurant is one of the projects on the Valle Escondido property. There is also a small eco hotel/lodge, and a small permaculture farm and educational space for sustainability. The mission of Valle Escondido is to provide quality experiences that offer a reconnection to nature’s beauty whilst promoting green technology and design.
Working towards being a self-sustainable restaurant and hotel within a private nature reserve, Valle Escondido offers a unique experience for guests combining great tasting and healthy local food, nature, and ecological balance into one location.
Popular with families, we also aspire to be one of the best family restaurants in Costa Rica.
