Tierras Morenas is located in the Provincia de Guanacaste, a region known for its lush landscapes and tranquil ambiance. This serene neighborhood is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Surroundings

The area is surrounded by rolling hills and verdant valleys, offering stunning views and a sense of seclusion. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant flora and fauna, as well as the opportunity to explore the beautiful natural surroundings.

Amenities

While Tierras Morenas feels remote, essential amenities are within reach. There are a few local restaurants within a 10-20 minute drive, and a basic grocery store is located just 5 km away, ensuring you have access to necessities during your stay.

Activities

The neighborhood provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities. You can take leisurely walks to enjoy the scenic views, watch the local wildlife, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking sunsets that the area is known for.

Tierras Morenas boasts a welcoming and friendly community. The residents value the tranquility and natural beauty of the area, creating a peaceful environment where visitors can feel at home and enjoy a genuine Costa Rican experience.

Please note that the Skoolie is located in a quiet, rural area surrounded by nature. While the road is paved, we recommend arriving before dark if it’s your first time. The space is designed for adults and is not suitable for children due to the plunge pool and bus stairs.

You'll find a small selection of locally sourced snacks, drinks, and handmade items available for purchase in the space—no pressure, just convenience.

Occasionally, you may hear distant sounds from my woodshop next door during the day. I keep hours light and respectful to maintain the peaceful setting.
