Casitas Tenorio is a unique B&B located on the slopes of Volcan Tenorio. We are located 2.5km from the centre of Bijagua, which makes us a perfect base for exploring the enchanting bright blue river 'Rio Celeste' in the Volcano Tenorio National Park.

The space
Casitas Tenorio is our home and business. We are Donald Varela Soto and Pip Kelly. We met working together on a conservation project in Bijagua in 2001. Since then, we’ve turned our commitment to sustainable living into a working farm and eco tourism venture. Donald is originally from Bijagua and Pip is from rural Victoria in Australia. We have travelled extensively together and have also lived and worked in a remote Indigenous community in Western Australia. We are married and have two bilingual daughters.

Bijagua is our home and we are committed to positively and sustainably developing our community. For us, this means preserving habitat for local wildlife and enabling sustainable tourism in the area. Casitas Tenorio is both a B&B and seven hectare working organic farm, producing dairy and other crops. We sell our milk to the cheese factory in town and also make our own cheese.

Guest access
Guests have access to walk around the property and many opportunities for birdwatching and sloth spotting! There is a peacful walking trail, and WIFI. Casitas Tenorio is a perfect location for all types of travellers including couples and families. We have a private trail onsite.

Where you’ll be

Bijagua de Upala, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

Bijagua is still a very traditional and 'authentic' Costa Rican rural town. Many families are involved in farming to make a living. The dense rainforest surrounds the town. You might see people riding horses around the countryside and friendly neighbours might wave as you drive past. Welcome to the 'real' Costa Rica. We are really close to Rio Celeste which is located in the Volcano Tenorio National Park. Come and experience authentic rural Costa Rica!
