A white house facing Cascada del Amor, a pond of lotus flowers and koi, tubes to sleep in among the bamboo, and breakfast included. Fifteen minutes' walk from town.
Charco Corazón is a two-storey white house facing Cascada del Amor in the La Herrera countryside, a kilometre from Jardín. There's a pond of lotus flowers and koi, a blue deck that steps out over the water, gardens of flowers and bamboo, and colourful tubes you can sleep in.
Guests talk about hosts who make you feel like family, breakfasts that change every day and rescued dogs and cats wandering about. It's a place to turn the volume down, not up.

Round tubes among the bamboo, private rooms with their own bathroom — one with the waterfall in the window — and shared dorms. Every rate includes breakfast; prices and availability always live in the official system.
The waterfall isn't a backdrop. It's the sound of your morning.The waterfallisn't a backdrop.It's the soundof your morning.
Cascada del Amor falls right across from the house. One guest wrote that you can hear it “at all times”; from the waterfall-view room it's framed in the window, and the natural pool that named the place is next door.
Lotus flowers, water lilies and koi in front of the house, the restaurant at the water's edge and the blue yoga deck stepping into the pond. Move your cursor — or tap the photo — and watch what the water does.
The Andean cock-of-the-rock is Jardín's emblem bird. The house puts it honestly: “with a little luck” you'll see it near the waterfall. It's not an appointment — it's a gift.
Time here is measured in things that happen: a birdcall, the smell of coffee, sun on the deck. Everything you see exists at the house; times are something you ask about.
Breakfast is included in every rate in the official system. HappyCow describes it as vegan, and guests say it changes every day.
Lulo's Restaurante, a plant-based kitchen, is on the property. For lunch or dinner the trick is to ask ahead: guests say meals are ordered in advance, and the hours published online don't agree. So we won't show you a made-up menu — we'll help you ask.
