Far removed from artificial, cookie-cutter
resorts, Esquinas Rainforest Lodge is a charming oasis located in one
of Costa Rica’s most secluded rainforests areas, Piedras Blancas
National Park. Only five kilometers from the Inter American Highway and
a 30-minute taxi ride from Golfito airport, Esquinas Rainforest Lodge
welcomes all kinds of nature lovers, whether eco-tourists looking for
off the beaten track adventure, bird watchers, or natural history enthusiasts.
Esquinas Rainforest Lodge features ten rustic-style bungalows that come
with private bath, hot water shower, tiled floor and ceiling fan. While
relaxing on the shady veranda, guests can enjoy a close up view of the
forest and its colorful array of exotic birds.
In the midst of this verdant Costa Rican jungle, the lodge’s elegant
restaurant offers a delightful variety of tropical and international dishes
that include fresh tropical fruits and locally grown vegetables and spices.
Guests may be treated to yucca, breadfruit, lemongrass tea, or a heavenly
chocolate dessert in a pleasant, relaxing setting.
Guests may wander along beautifully landscaped tropical gardens that attract
more than 200 species of birds, colorful butterflies, coatis, monkeys,
iguanas, and other exotic wildlife. A delightful spring fed pool sits
amid the lodge's lush expansive gardens and is the perfect place for sunbathing
or a refreshing dip. Directly behind the Esquinas Rainforest Lodge, a
ten-mile long network of well marked trails lead guests through fascinating,
unspoiled rainforest.
Activities in and around the lodge include hiking, bird watching, horseback
and mountain bike tours, as well as boat and kayak trips in nearby Golfo
Dulce. For the die-hard adventurer, the Esquinas Rainforest Lodge offers
The Ultimate Rainforest Adventure Tour. Here, guests may ride horseback
to the end of Valle Bonito, hike through untouched primary rainforest
to the coast, swim in warm Golfo Dulce, take a boat trip along the coast
to Golfito, and finally a taxi ride through the rainforest back to the
lodge.
