Bijagua Holidays

The village of Bijagua, located in the north of Costa Rica, is a dream for nature lovers, nestled between dramatic volcanoes and tropical rainforests. While many travellers simply use the town as a base from which to discover the natural wonders nearby, there’s a lot to love about this laid-back farming village with its friendly locals, colourful markets and restaurants serving traditional Costa Rican cuisine — think filling bowls of gallo pinto (rice and beans) and hearty helpings of olla de carne (beef and vegetable stew). If you’re seeking outdoorsy adventures, head to the nearby Tenorio Volcano National Park which is home to several hot springs, waterfalls and hiking trails. Bijagua is the perfect destination for easy-going and adventurous travellers alike with the promises of natural beauty and authentic local culture.
