Savegre Mountain Hotel
Day Tours Available from Savegre Mountain Hotel
The Savegre Mountain Hotel, also known as Cabinas Chacón, is located in San Gerardo de Dota, a small community in the Talamanca mountains in the midst of a precious ecosystem. Here, visitors will find a deep cloud forest filled with massive oaks and other native species. The woods serve as a sanctuary for a large number of mammals and innumerable species of insects, amphibians, amazing plants and colorful birds, a paradise for birdwatchers.
The hotel is run by the Chacón Family, whom arrived in Savegre in 1954 and were the first pioneers settling down in this valley. They have not only developed this wonderful hotel, but have, over the course of the years, taken advantage of the crisp weather to grow apples, plums, and peaches, which you sample in meals. Rainbow trout abound in the Savegre River which is great for fly fishing. Over 170 bird species have been observed in the area and its multiple hiking trails in the Cloud Forest. This is known as one of the best places in the country to observe quetzals, who live here year round. The Hotel hosts the Quetzal Education Research Center Complex (QERC), a cooperative venture between the Chacón Family and Southern Nazarene University in Oklahoma.
