The most biologically intense place on earth
Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge, tucked away in the trees and cooled
by the Pacific Ocean, is a 170 acre private reserve bordering Corcovado
National Park. Carefully designed and built by an American naturalist
with twenty years of local experience, this unique lodge offers
accommodations constructed in harmony with the landscape and the
environment. Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge offers the closest accommodations
to Corcovado National Park and provides the ideal base for your
in-depth rainforest experience.
Any travel plan to Costa Rica should include a stay in the tropical
rainforest. The last Pacific lowland rainforest of sustainable size
in Central America is found in Corcovado National Park. Corcovado
has been called "The most biologically intense place on earth" by
no less an authority than the National Geographic Society.
Access to Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge is only by motor launch.
The adventure begins two hours before your arrival as the launch
leaves the Sierpe River and follows the Pacific coast. Your accommodations
at this "Lost World" are artfully appointed individual bungalows
offering tiled floors, hot showers and ceiling fans.
The Lodge is supplied with mountain spring water, and is surrounded
by virgin rainforest. Electricity is provided 24 hours a day by
hydroelectric and solar systems. This is your opportunity to discover
the vibrant life of the rainforest. Enjoy beach-combing on our half-kilometer-long
pristine beach then refresh yourself under a waterfall. Casa Corcovado
is the closest lodge to Caño Island Biological Reserve, a diver's
paradise. Here you can picnic on a white sand beach sheltered by
coconut palms and snorkel among the coral reefs.
Guided tours to both the park and the island are included in Casa
Corcovado's 4-day package. Kayaks are available for hourly rental
or go for a guided outing along the coast. Have lunch on a beautiful
tropical beach perfect for swimming or snorkeling. Scuba diving
and sportfishing excursions can be arranged, or enjoy a Kayak excursion
to San Josecito, a beautiful beach.
Comfortable accommodations, unforgettable meals, informative guides
and accessibility to both Corcovado Park and Caño Island are not
all that's offered. A sense of sharing the adventure, participating
in a cultural experience and earning a broader understanding of
the fragile ecology of the rainforest, will make this a voyage to
remember for a lifetime. Anything less is just a vacation.
Our tours are geared towards the serious minded naturalist, hiker,
photographer, birder, and adventurer. Due to the remote location,
tours involve surf launches and landings. We recommend these tours
for those in good physical condition.
Our goal is to provide personalized
service to a limited number of guests while promoting rainforest
conservation
