Exceptional destinations arise from exceptional dreams!

The story of Hotel Heliconia is a powerful example of how dreams can flourish in the face of adversity. In the 1970s, a family faced a significant challenge when their initial business venture did not thrive. Rather than giving up, they decided to transform their home into a small hotel, embarking on a journey filled with passion and hospitality. With the growing interest in the region, this pivot became a unique opportunity.

The effort and dedication of its founders soon paid off: the small hotel attracted tourists eager to explore the beauty of Monteverde. As visitors sought adventures in the cloud forest, the hotel not only prospered but also expanded, becoming an icon of the region, known for its distinctive style and warm welcome.
