The Pacuare Lodge
|
 |
Tucked
away inside the Pacuare protected zone, on the banks of this enchanting
river, lies the Pacuare Lodge. Surrounded by nature in its purest
and most primitive state, guests of the lodge experience that
most coveted of travelers’ rewards, an opportunity to savor
the spirit of a place.
The lodge grounds are completely surrounded by tropical rainforest.
Enormous trees and rainforest inhabitants live in natural harmony
alongside the lodge itself. The Pacuare Lodge was designed and
constructed to blend with the surrounding environment, affecting
minimal impact, and has been recognized by the World Tourism Organization
as one of only sixty-five examples throughout the world of good
practice in sustainability and ecotourism.
The two-story eco-lodge has a comfortable, rustic dining area
on the first floor, and an open-air lounge on the second floor
with sitting areas and hammocks. Guest rooms are modern wooden
bungalows with thatched palm roofs, carefully designed in an indigenous
style to blend into the surrounding forest. Nestled within a forest
that has stood sentry for eons, each bungalow comes complete with
private bathroom and shower, as well as freshly linened beds that
promise a languid repose, surrounded by the intoxicating scents
of the tropical rainforest. For an added touch of luxury, reserve
our honeymoon suite.
A two-day, overnight stay at the lodge is an excellent option
for the busy traveler. But with so much to choose from in this
jungle oasis, why not add one or two additional nights to allow
yourself to experience more profoundly the beauty of the zone.
A variety of optional tours—from
the highest Original Canopy Tour in Costa Rica to cultural exchanges
with local inhabitants—are available to enrich any stay,
from one night to several.
Getting there and back from this
rainforest setting was once only via an exciting rafting trip
through class III and IV rapids. While this is still a splendid
way to experience the Pacuare Lodge and its surrounds, you can
now also choose from a range of options that include entry and
departure by land, as well as a combination of land and river
transport.

Definitely the highlight of our trip here. The Pacuare Lodge is
spectacular. A rare combination of nature & comfort without
a hint of commercialism. The food was fantastic, our guide knowledgeable
& outgoing. The whole staff was wonderful. We had a blast!
I wouldn’t change anything.
