The Howler's Call

A Jungle Symphony at Lunch

As the warm Costa Rican sun reaches its peak, the jungle around Bejuko comes alive with a sound unlike any other. It begins as a deep, resonant breath from the canopy—a primordial hum that vibrates through the trees and the air itself. This is the call of the howler monkeys, our most majestic and frequent visitors, announcing their presence in a chorus that is both haunting and beautiful.

Lunch here is accompanied by this unforgettable soundtrack. Settle into your seat beneath a tapestry of leaves and listen. What starts as a low guttural rumble builds into a powerful, echoing chorus, a conversation that has echoed through these forests for millennia. It’s a sound that commands stillness and awe, a reminder that you are dining in a truly wild and ancient space.

Watch as families of these gentle giants move slowly through the treetops, their dark fur silhouetted against the bright sky, often pausing to gaze curiously at the scene below. Their dramatic calls are not a disturbance, but the very heartbeat of your dining experience—an authentic layer of Montezuma’s magic.

This 2026 season, we invite you to savor this full sensory immersion. Join us for lunch where the air is fresh, the sushi is impeccable, and the company includes these captivating wild neighbors. After a morning exploring the Montezuma River’s waterfalls and natural pools, let the howlers' chorus be the soundtrack to your finest meal. For travelers from Santa Teresa or nearby, a stop at Bejuko is the perfect climax to a day in nature—a place where culinary artistry meets an untamed symphony.

Come, taste the freshest flavors of land and sea, and let the deep, peculiar chorus of the howlers transport you. This is Pura Vida, in its most authentic and unforgettable form.
