Make the Most of Your Cajón Stay

A gateway to Costa Rica's southern highlands

Cajón occupies a quiet stretch of the Pérez Zeledón canton in southern Costa Rica, where the Inter-American Highway cuts through coffee plantations and sugarcane fields against the backdrop of the Talamanca Mountains. The contrast between working farms and ultra-luxury accommodations creates an authentic Costa Rican experience appealing to travelers seeking both sophistication and genuine rural character.

Nature and cultural heritage

The Los Cusingos Bird Sanctuary preserves legendary ornithologist Alexander Skutch's former home, offering 78 hectares of trails where you can spot the rare Fiery-billed Aracari and hundreds of other species. The nearby Río Cedral provides natural swimming pools surrounded by pristine forest. Hacienda AltaGracia suits executive retreats particularly well, with private casitas, a world-class spa, and facilities designed for focused work in a secluded mountain setting.

Practical considerations

Reaching Cajón requires a 3-4 hour drive from San José's international airport or a private charter to the resort's airstrip. The district serves as an excellent base for exploring Chirripó National Park's cloud forests and the dramatic Nauyaca Waterfalls toward the Pacific coast.
