We walked here from our hotel towards the end of the afternoon and had the place to ourselves. The botanic gardens include a bromeliad nursery, small medicinal garden, short walk through the rainforest, and tons of fruit trees. While the plants were beautiful, there's not a wealth of information, so it was more about enjoying the scenery and the solitude.... More

Lovely botanical gardens with good labels for the plants and many birds and frogs to see. There was a nice explanation about local fruits at the end of our tour. More

even though i have often visited similar farms in different parts of the world, i liked the fact that you are left alone to wonder in a portion of the farm (botanic garden), and look around at different trees, plants and fruits. i got lost, but that was because i forgot the instructions for the path to follow!

We were very impressed. in our travels to Costa Rica we have been on numerous tours that along the way stop at this or that "botanical garden " only in my opinion to stop at somebody's place that has a few plants here and there. Finca La Isla's is an actual educational facility that combines indigenous and non indigenous plants... More

I love weird and wonderful plants. Finca La Isla has plants that very few botanical gardens in Costa Rica have. I guarantee you won't have heard of most of their fruit trees. Their giant fern has fronds that can reach eight yards long; they have a spectacular bamboo palm, and many others too numerous to name. They have many bromeliads.... More
