A Spectrum of Colors in Freedom
Our tropical gardens and the 200 hectares of protected forest are home to iconic species that you will find just steps from your bungalow:
- Toucans and Aracaris: It is common to see the Keel-billed Toucan and the Collared Aracari feeding in the hacienda’s trees.
- Hummingbirds and Butterflies: We have gardens designed to attract these winged jewels, allowing for close and detailed observation.
- Mountain Species: Being close to the cloud forest, you can spot species not found in the lowlands, including majestic raptors soaring across our skies.
More than Birds: The Hacienda’s Wildlife
The richness of our “living farm” extends across the entire forest floor. Walking along our trails is like opening a window to the wild world:
Monkeys and Mammals
White-faced and howler monkeys are frequent visitors in the treetops.
It is also possible to spot sloths, coatis, and, with a bit of luck at dawn, a deer walking through the pastures.

Nature Photography
Our viewpoints and trails offer perfect angles and ideal natural light for bird photography.
Without the crowds of national parks, here time is on your side to get “that” perfect shot.
“Even sitting on the bungalow’s terrace, we were amazed by the number of birds we saw. I am not an expert, but the beauty of the colors and sounds at Hacienda Sassenberg left me speechless.”
— Carolin, Guest and nature lover.
