The wetlands and surrounding forest areas contain a great diversity of species, many only locally sited, endemic to this area: crocodiles, alligators, otters, wild bores, ocelots, pumas, pacas, sloths, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, white-throated capuchin monkeys, and numerous other species of birds, reptiles and amphibians.
Manzanillo (1km) is a small fishing village with restaurants, grocers, a dive shop and a boutique. Town children play soccer on the beach day and night in front of Maxi's famous seafood restaurant. During weekends it is crowed with local people who like to spend time on the beach and in the bar.
Puerto Viejo (14 km) there you will find a Bank, doctor, drugstore, boutiques, bars, restaurants, supermarket and nightlife.
All of this together Congo Bongo is offering you a private home to stay, in the middle of natural beauty of nature itself.
Buy the way, Congo means “howler monkey” in Spanish and Bongo is the rhythm of the Jungle……..
We hope to see you soon at Congo Bongo

Amazing Stay at a Truly Remarkable Guest House

My wife and two children (ages 2 and 5) stayed at the Big House for five days. It will be remembered as one of the best vacations we have ever had. The house is amazing, surrounded by forest and teeming with wildlife. A female sloth with baby hung out right above our patio and we spotted a male sloth a couple of trees over. The howler monkeys were a constant presence, not to mention toucans, morphos and parrots. I spotted an agouti one day on the way to the beach. Speaking of the beach, it is beautiful! On the most crowded day we had to share a mile of beach with six other people. Everything about this place is amazing. Our kids are already begging us to go back. A big gracias to Jose, the night watchman for the great conversation. We wish you and your family the best. To Luna the cat, thanks for your constant company. Make sure you hit Selvin's, Pan Pey and Elena Brown's for some great Caribbean meals. This was my fourth visit to Costa Rica and the Caribbean side is now my new favorite.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

I have been to all parts of Costa Rica, some friends wanted to come down with me. I found Daan's place on VRBO and the pictures dont do it justice, its much better in person. Its a very nice short walk to the beach, normally you are alone on the beach. If you want a Cancun party place this is not for you, but if you want warmth, nature, uncrowded beach and an awesome beautiful house to stay in (will full kitchen) this is for you. FYI you can catch the shuttle bus from the airport to his place for about $40 pp, but I rent a SUV in San Jose for about $300 and drive....lil more freedom when there.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.
