FINCA AQUARIUS Luxury eco stay THE FINCA Finca Aquarius is a self-sufficient farm on the slopes of the mountains of Monteverde. Infused with the beauty of nature our tropical finca is spread over 7 hectares. Build in modern style and equipped with comfortable facilities the finca overlooks the valley and Nicoya Peninsula. We offer 3 separate apartements for guests to stay in. SELF-SUFFICIENT We are trying to become more and more self-sufficient. In our self-sufficient farm we generate our own electricity, filter our own water and grow as much of our own food as possible. For our electricity we mostly rely on a water-turbine. For people interested we make time to show and explain the installation. After finishing the first construction fase of our project our focus is on eliminating prefabricated foods or ingrediensts from our diets. As part of our hospitality we offer the possibility to join us for lunch or dinner, and if you want you are welcome to participate (or teach us!) in the preparation process. RECONNECT WITH NATURE For us nature has been the best location to reconnect with our own nature.

MEET YOUR HOST Jan is a Dutch man reaching his 60’s. After living 50 years in survival mode in the jungle of our modern society he has entered the path of discovering how to free himself from the claims of the world. His path took him to visit several continents and investigate different cultures and ancient philosophies. A couple of years ago his quest for answers ended and he decided to use his insights to create this peacefull oasis where the environment and energy are an invitation and support to make the journey of your life. That journey is within all of us.

ACTIVITIES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE Within our finca there is a nice climb tot he top of the mountain where you will find a very special place that invites you to take a rest and look at your own life from a distance. On your way up you will be greeted by the horses that keep the mountainslopes clear by eating all the large grasses. If you bring some of some treats for them (we supply the) they will come running towards you. And if you invite them some of our dogs will accompany you for your walk. If you are interested we will show you how we have created our electricity generating installation by using water. Or we will demonstrate you how we move up our irrigation water for more then 100 meters altitude by using only the power of the water itself. The river next to our finca nvites you to come and take a bath in the fresh clean water. You will feel re-energized! At 400 meters you will find the “lecheria”of our neighebors where they milk their cows. You are more then welcome to visit them and even do some milking yourself.
