Villa Tucán - Nuakú Jungle | Villa in San Carlos
1 Bedroom Villa in La Palmeria, San Carlos
Summary:
When surrounded by nature, ideas flow better. That's how Nuakú was born.
In the middle of Costa Rica's rainforest, where someone dreamt of sharing this experience with the world. A place where luxury and nature become one.
The Space:
The privacy of each of our 4 villas makes your stay unique. A thermal plunge pool with a view. Exclusive trails filled with Costa Rican wildlife. Soundproofed rooms with a blackout effect to ensure good rest.
Thoughtfully designed to create a calm and restorative stay. Personalized, warm service. Ideal for those who seek meaningful connections with nature.
Guest Access:
Nuakú’s guests have full access to the entire villa. They will enjoy all the private amenities and the surrounding natural areas prepared for their stay. Every trail, every villa, every detail has been carefully designed to offer a sense of warmth, comfort, and genuine connection with the amazing jungle.
The Neighborhood:
Nuakú Jungle sits in the mountains of San Carlos.
The towns of Aguas Zarcas and Ciudad Quesada are 10 and 20 minutes away, with restaurants, shops, and everyday essentials. From there, the region opens up: whitewater rafting in Sarapiquí (40 min), the viewpoints of Laguna de Hule and San Vicente (45 min), the waterfalls of Bajos del Toro (1 hr), and the Arenal Volcano area, with its hot springs and adventure (under 1 hr). Poás Volcano National Park is about 90 minutes away.
But what makes Nuakú different is what you come back to at the end of the day. A private place of forest and mist, where hot springs, exclusive trails, and unhurried stillness make the outside world feel very far away.
Getting Around:
A rental car is the most convenient way to explore, giving you the freedom to discover waterfalls, hot springs, and viewpoints at your own pace. Everything in the region is within comfortable reach.
No 4x4 needed, just a relaxed drive through the mountains. Clear directions and GPS coordinates are sent ahead of your stay, so the way in feels simple from the very first turn.
Prefer not to drive? Private transfers can be arranged from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) or La Fortuna, and taxis are readily available in Aguas Zarcas and Ciudad Quesada. Whatever you need, it can be organized for you.
Once you arrive, there's nothing left to figure out. The trails, the pool, and the stillness are all just steps away.
