The Pacuare Jungle Lodge

Enshrouded within this primal habitat on the banks of this enchanting river stands the Pacuare Lodge. In its quest to minimize environmental impact, the lodge was designed and built to merge with the surrounding habitat. Guests of the lodge are freely able to enjoy this pristine rainforest environment by taking advantage of the many opportunities for hiking, bird watching, or simply relaxing among enormous trees and jungle creatures who live in harmony alongside the lodge itself. The Pacuare Lodge has been recognized by the World Tourism Organization as 1 of only 65 examples throughout the world of good practice in sustainability and ecotourism.

This rustic styled two-story eco-lodge comes with a comfortable dining area on the first floor, and an outside lounge on the second floor with sitting areas and hammocks. The guest rooms are modern wooden bungalows with thatched palm roofs, meticulously designed in an indigenous style in order to blend with the surrounding environment. Veiled within an ancient forest that has stood for centuries, each bungalow comes equipped with private bathroom and shower, freshly linened beds and an ambience that will assure you a well-deserved rest among the bewitching fragrances of this tropical paradise. For an even more exceptional experience, reserve our honeymoon suite.

For the busy explorer, a two-day, overnight stay at the lodge is an excellent option. But with so many exciting things to do in this exotic refuge, why not add an additional night or two and allow yourself the opportunity to really experience the captivating magnificence of this zone. A variety of optional tours are available—from the highest Original Canopy Tour in Costa Rica to enriching cultural interactions with the native inhabitants. These tours are available to enhance your stay, whether it’s one night or several. Getting there and back from this rainforest environment was once only possible via an exhilarating rafting trip through class III and IV rapids. While this is still an excellent way to experience the Pacuare Lodge and its environment, you now have the option to choose a variety of alternatives, which include entry or exit by land, or a combination of both river and land transportation.
