Before You Arrive
Everything you need to know for your stay at El Tigre Hideaway.
-
No. The road to El Tigre Waterfalls reception is accessible with any regular vehicle. Once you arrive, you can leave your car safely at our private parking area.
-
Our villas are located approximately 3 km inside the property, surrounded by forest. Guests leave their vehicle at El Tigre Waterfalls reception, and our team provides the transfer to the villa in a 4x4 vehicle.
This private transfer is part of the experience and allows you to stay deep within the property without having to drive through the internal forest roads yourself. -
Yes. Although the villas feel secluded and immersed in nature, you remain within the private El Tigre property and supported by our team.
The villas have Wi-Fi, backup internet, walkie-talkies, and access to our WhatsApp assistance line from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Our El Tigre Waterfalls reception and staff are also nearby and available to assist throughout the day.

One of the greatest advantages of staying with us is being able to experience the property at quieter times of the day, when there are very few visitors around.

The villas are intentionally located away from the main reception area, approximately 3 km inside the forest.
You will feel surrounded by nature and far from the usual tourist environment, while still having access to our staff, communication systems and services whenever you need them.
-
Possibly — and that is part of staying in a real tropical forest.
You may encounter butterflies, birds, frogs, insects and other local wildlife around the property. The villas are professionally maintained and cleaned, but El Tigre Hideaway is surrounded by a living ecosystem rather than a manicured urban environment.
For many of our guests, these unexpected encounters are part of what makes the experience special.
-
Meals are not included, but you have several convenient options during your stay.
Our El Tigre restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, and some nearby restaurants also offer delivery service to the property. In addition, the villas are fully equipped with kitchens, so you can prepare your own meals whenever you prefer.
If you would like something more special, we can also help arrange a private chef experience in advance.
-
Depending on your interests, you can enjoy hiking through waterfalls and hanging bridges, horseback riding, 4x4 transfers, Zipline Bike experiences and other activities offered through El Tigre Waterfalls.
Our team can help you organize your stay so you can combine relaxation at the villa with adventure in the forest.
-
Yes. Families are welcome, although guests should keep in mind that the property is located in a natural forest environment.
Children should be supervised around trails, balconies, water features and outdoor areas, just as they would be anywhere in the mountains.
-
Yes. Since your vehicle remains at reception, our team coordinates transportation between the villa and the main reception area when needed.
For that reason, it is helpful to communicate your plans with us in advance so we can make the experience as smooth as possible.
-
El Tigre Hideaway is not designed to feel like a conventional hotel.
You are staying inside a private natural property, surrounded by forest, waterfalls and wildlife, with the comfort of a high-end villa and the support of the El Tigre team nearby.
The idea is simple: comfort without separating you from the wildness of Monteverde.
-
Yes. We can help personalize your stay with a selection of additional services designed to elevate the experience.
