Not in Liberia!!! The "Mistica" is a private dwelling on our tropical forest retreat. Between Los Pargos and Avellanas. We are within walking distance to a colorful rural community of fishermen, surfers, artists and cowboys (Playa Negra and Avellanas.) We are also blessed with a secluded local beach a short walk away on the pristine Pacific ocean. Hand-built with hardwoods from our land, the lodge is a house immersed in nature with wildlife all around- monkeys, parrots, iguanas, & lots more. The space The Mistica is a totally private tropical house. Nestled privately on nine acres of forested land next to a seasonal creek, it is a 5 minute walk down a tree-lined lane to pristine Lagartillo beach.
