Space and time seem to stand still as you enter the depths of the Pacuare Protected Zone. As you submerge yourself into this tropical forest, you are acutely aware that this is a place the modern world has seemingly passed by. The exuberance of the flora and fauna stagger your senses and urge you on to discover more of this hidden wonder that is the Pacuare River. Abruptly, as you round a bend in the river, your eyes come to rest on the Pacuare Lodge, a concealed haven nestled on the banks of this dynamic river in the midst of a radiant tropical rainforest. The Pacuare Lodge is well known and written about in esteemed travel publications, and its enchanted atmosphere brings visiting travelers back again and again.

The guest bungalows and lodge seem as much a part of this rainforest setting as do the jungle’s fauna, frequently seen scampering within the jungle undergrowth or ascending through the rainforest canopy. As you meander about this lush verdant forest, delighting in its myriad of fragrances, sounds and colors, you cannot help but marvel, at the bounty Mother Nature has provided.

The award winning Pacuare Lodge combines touches of luxury with an obligation to exemplary sustainable tourism practices. The palm-thatched bungalows are roofed in the time honored Cabecar style and evocative of their ancient jungle dwellings.
Settle down for a nap on your private veranda, or unwind with fellow travelers in one of the lodge’s hammocks and experience the camaraderie that adventure travel invariably provokes. Before you know it you will be drawn inexorably deeper into this exotic wonderland.

Optional tours of many types will satisfy even the most seasoned of veteran travelers. These include the heart-pounding thrill of the highest Original Canopy Tour in Costa Rica to culturally enriching exchanges with the native Cabecar Indians of the Talamanca Mountain region.
