This is a really out-of-the-way rainforest lodge on the mountains behind or east of Quepos. A lot of young people who do mountaineering & rappelling go there for the surrounding cliffs, including a climb on the waterfall right there at the lodge. I went way back when with the Birding Club and the birding is okay there. It reminded me of Yorkin with the village ladies doing the cooking for all our meals, except they have electricity here! 🙂 It is simple or basic at an very economical price that includes all three meals.

Would I Go There Again?
Yes! But it is not my first choice for a repeat visit.

Getting There
- You pretty much need a car since a bus could get you only to Quepos. From Quepos you drive up the mountain to the lodge about 39km or 1 hour drive. From Atenas it is 172 km or 3 hours, 40 min drive.
