Finca la Isla Permaculture Farm, Plant Nursery and Botanical Garden

A real raw and natural experience. A family owned farm with lots of plants trees and fruits from everywhere in the world. Curcuma. Cinnamon Durian and lots more. Little guide in the beginning with some tasting of fruits. All organic! Very nice and kind owner with expertise. It is in the jungle and yes you can encounter wildlife as a lot spiders. Just be prepared and experience Mother Nature!

A Gardener's Paradise! As a gardener who values knowing where my food comes from, Finca la Isla was a dream come true. The visit starts with a helpful map and guide, setting the stage for a self-paced adventure through the lush grounds. It was incredible to see foods like chocolate and mangosteen growing right on the trees! The tour culminates with a tasting of exotic fruits grown on-site, which was a perfect ending. Be sure to wear good shoes, as the paths are more like a gentle hiking trail. This was a truly delightful and educational experience. I can't wait to visit their stand at the Saturday farmers' market to bring a taste of this paradise home!

We had an incredible experience getting lost in this unique garden. Be sure to bring your hiking shoes and a baby carrier—it's not like the polite botanical gardens you might find in Europe. Instead, it has a jungle vibe, complete with animals and mud. It was a magical and wonderful adventure! Don't miss it!

A must do if you’re in Puerto Viejo for few days. You can feel the love in this place. The people taking care of the lands are here for the second generation and they know what they are talking about. So many things to learn and discover about the Flora of Costa Rica. Especially if you like fruits you’ll be amazed by this place. They also give you some of their fruits at the end of your tour, some are pretty hard to find in shops. On this lands you’ll see trees that are pretty impressive in size and the owner will tell you a lot of interesting facts about it. I was amazed by the size and length of the roots of some trees, you can follow it on more then 20 meters on the floor. Have fun and take your time.

A must do if you’re in Costa Rica - the owner is very knowledgeable and he showed us around and gave us some great fruits at the end of the tour, in fact they grow exotic fruits here that we’d never seen before, if you like fruits and want to see them growing (most people think fruits are grown in supermarkets) then I highly recommend this place. The trails are very well marked and the owner gives you a clear map and an information leaflet which is mega helpful. Highly recommended and with the fruit he gives you the entrance fee seems too cheap !

So nice! The owners opened up for us outside their regular season and offered us lots of different strangely delicious fruits, and told us about the project. We walked around their grounds and saw all the amazing plants and trees they are growing. It was really nice trip, and they were happy to explain and inform. Very interesting!

Peter has an awesome farm. I can’t wait to go back in a few weeks with my parents. Super nice and knowledgeable. What him and his son is doing there in Costa Rica is amazing. They live with the land.

Me and my family really enjoyed the farm visit we discovered fruits that we’d never heard of!
