Visit to Organic Farm El Paraiso

El Paraíso Organic farm is located about 15km from Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat, and forms part of the larger farming settlement el Paraíso. The road is well paved and is accesible for any type of vehicle.

Don Daniel and his wife Doña Teresa are the owners and they work on the farm alongside their children and attend to the visitors personally. Their main crops are black pepper and vanilla.

After many years of working in banana and pineapple plantations, and after many years of suffering health problems, Don Daniel and his family dedicate themselves and their farm to Organic, integral agriculture. 

They offer a guided tour (in Spanish) of their farm and a delicious lunch. They are a truly inspiring family and this is an authentic and motivating tour! Don Daniel is also the president of the Organic Farming Association and an eco tourism Association called Grillo Verde.
