HIGHLAND HERITAGE COSTA RICA
Nestled in a unique and secluded site high up in the rugged Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica
lies Highland Heritage, a 2,000-acre private forest, nature reserve and retreat.
The reserve is host to a wide range of wildlife,
numerous species of colourful birds, and uniquely placed in Costa Rica adjacent to La Amistad Park - 2 million acres, the largest and most remote park in Costa Rica with more
virgin rainforest than ALL the other parks put together!
Here is all but a lost world, reached by an almost impossible 'road', where the mist and clouds drift and hug the mountains creating a scene that is more reminiscent of a Jules Verne or Conan Doyle movie
- a place beyond the affairs of this world.
Waterfalls abound - perhaps 100 in all - from the smallest to the single-drop 85-metre (280-feet) major falls reached by a challenging 4-5 hour (each way) hike. Huge trees, vibrant orchids, tropical plants, and natural springs make for a setting that is as exotic as it is dramatic.
Highland Heritage is not only a nature reserve, where our buildings and
facilities blend harmoniously within the landscape, but more a secure retreat
and escape from the toxic manifestations of the 21st century. Here, we have
little dependency on the outside world and are far removed from its influences.
Our
extensive rock and water gardens with perpetual fountains and thousands of flowers in bloom every day of the year are recreative to the
senses, guest quarters are relaxing with natural woods and a frontier flavour,
Winston Smith's homecook eatery is what you would expect back in the mountains -
no artificial ingredients. At the Orwell Truth Centre you can take your choice
from charming old movies to finding out what the government is really up to.
Natural remedies replace toxic prescriptions and contaminated inoculations, and
a healthy environment rapidly revitalises defiled body systems. Above all, as most visitors observe, a tranquility descends upon the body and mind.
At our 5,000-7,000 feet altitude (1,500-2,000 metre) in the cloudforest it is often hard to believe that we are just 9 degrees from the equator. Our climate is as near perfect as you could possibly get with rarely a day too hot or too cold.
