Located 47 km from Cerro de la Muerte, Casas La Chirincoca provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. 25 km from Nauyaca Waterfalls and 42 km from Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, the property offers a garden and a terrace.

The holiday home also provides guests with 1 bathroom. VERY spacious - both indoors and yard. Nice patio area to sit out. The house was solid with a nice layout. The kitchen was great to work in and had a large fridge - nice! Laundry area with modern washing machine - sweet! Ceiling fans in living room and bedrooms. (A/C would be a treat in the bedrooms - but I was aware there weren’t any). Very clean. Our stay was very relaxing. Our host made it easy for us to access the house. He did not live at the property. We communicated by WhatsApp & phone. He was always quick to respond and made sure everything was good! We were away from the hustle and bustle in a residential area which had an awesome local restaurant and bar in the neighborhood. It was hard to leave to explore the city.

The 2-bedroom holiday home is fitted with a living room with a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, and 1 bathroom. The accommodation is non-smoking. Great location could hear the stream below. Restaurant walking distance great trout up the road. Loved sitting in and outside watching the hummingbirds in the bottle brushes outside. Attempted to see the elusive quetzel. Alas only saw a flash of bright green in the park as he flew away.

Set in Rivas, Rocka Verde Retreat 8th Wonder of the World offers a balcony with mountain and river views, as well as a year-round outdoor pool, hot tub and spa facilities. This property offers access to a terrace, darts, free private parking and free WiFi. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the villa's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax. We had a fantastic stay at Rocka Verde Retreats Airbnb! The house was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything I needed for a few home-cooked meals. Robert was incredibly responsive and gave great local tips, which made my visit even better. The location was perfect—quiet at night but close to restaurants, cafes, and public transit. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, a welcome note, and fast Wi-Fi. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
