    Very rustic, pretty little Cabñas with a view over the river. Nature is surrounding (it's a bit off the path, so a car is really helpful). The owner Herbie takes very good care of you and you should really try his self-cooked meals.

Casa Rio Blanco Eco Friendly b&b
When Casa Rio Blanco opened its doors in 1994 it was an off grid ecolodge. When we took it over in 2024 we kept it the eco friendly bed and breakfast. We are making slight changes to meet 21st century demands but it truly still is a throwback to the days when Costa Rica was all about eco tourism. The cabins are all wood with big screened in windows to enable guests to enjoy the sounds of the rainforest and the white water rushing in the rio blanco below and also allow fresh air flow through the cabins. All Three cabins have a private bathroom and a private balcony. Breakfast is included in the room rate! If the property looks booked please contact us and we can assist with availability past bookings cut off time.
We can always assist with availability after the Bookings time cut off. Please contact us through our website or bookings message and we can make sure there is a beautiful cabin available.
We hope to welcome you here soon, thank you, 🐸Lisa & Adam🌿
