2. Ailanto is located in Fortuna de Bagaces, about 50 kilometers from the Liberia International Airport,
(45 Minutes by car) right at the foothills of the inactive Miravalles Volcano.
Although on a clear day the ocean can be seen from Ailanto, the nearest beach is located around 1
hour away by car but just minutes by helicopter.
Bagaces is known as the “Cradle of Ecology” and we have taken advantage of such a wonderful
location to create The Ailanto Recreation Area within the Miravalles Volcano protected area, a
National Preserve.
The Ailanto Recreation Area includes the Wellness Resort and Spa, a 33 hectare private gated
community with planned Private Residences, Condominiums, a 150 suite hotel, the 30 hectare
Adventure camp is for the eco-tourists where they enjoy a canopy tour and hike all the way up to the
Volcano crater or simply ride horses for a wonderful experience. The 25 hectare Activity Center
adds to our package offering a close and personal view of the Miravalles Volcano with its walking
tour, where the thumping heart of this wondrous work of nature can be heard, enjoy the mud baths or
simply see the earth boiling and rocks melting in front of your eyes.
Complement this experience with a hike to the waterfalls, across beautiful natural trails and hanging
bridges.
Ailanto is a green development, with much care being taken to respect and only disturb what is
absolutely necessary to build our wonderful retreat. Ailanto uses less than 16% of its land area for
building.
