Hotel Chalet El Tirol offers a Swiss experience in a misty cloud forest above the city, near Monte de la Cruz Recreation Area. The ride uphill through a cool, heavily scented evergreen forest is exhilarating – and it seems perfectly natural to encounter the chalet’s alpine cottages and restaurant at 1,800 meters/5,900 feet above sea level. The vine-covered chalets are cute; some have a slight musty smell, but are charming nonetheless.
One of the best features is the French restaurant. It was awarded the Châine des Rotisseurs from the French Gourmet Society and is open daily at noon. Hiking trails lead into the cloud forest and guided tours are available. Not to be missed is the Instituto Bioplanet’s Jewels of the Rainforest Biodiversity Exhibit, which found a welcoming home here.
