Bambu is a beautiful rural and quiet area. We have neighbors but there is still a lot of farmland around the houses, as well as ample gardens with fruit trees, flowery trees, and lush greenery. The neighborhood is close to Puerto Jimenez (only 5 minute drive on a paved road), but still far enough away that you feel like you're in the countryside. You don't have the general motorized vehicle noises, as our street is a dead-end road, and only a few more families live further down the road. We have parrots and scarlet macaws visit the property almost every day, as well as plenty of other song birds, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Sitting on one of the porches, you will always be able to observe something flying by!
