Charles Lankester, a British botanist, arrived in Costa Rica in 1900 at the age of 21. In 1917 he bought 25 acres near Cartago to preserve the local flora, especially orchids and bromeliads. These Gardens are currently run by the University of Costa Rica. Few people realize there was a second Lankester Gardens in Rio Segundo, only minutes from the Juan Santamaria International Airport..
This property boasts nearly 8 acres of exotic orchids and plants from around the world. The gently inclined, landscaped paths meander through lush tropical plants and towering bamboo. This was the seasonal home of Charles Lankester. His family used to arrive in a horse drawn buggy to enjoy the spring fed pool surrounded by flowering ginger and giant bamboo cathedral. This is also the site of the Pelton pump which uses the impact of the falling creek water and sends it up to the main house.
