Tucked away deep in the heart of Costa Rica's most pristine rainforest environment, on the banks of the Pacuare River, lies the Pacuare Jungle Lodge. Surrounded by nature in its purest and most primitive state, here you will experience that most coveted of travellers rewards, an opportunity to savour the spirit of a place.

The Pacuare Lodge was designed and constructed to blend with the surrounding environment, affecting minimal impact, and has been recognised by the World Tourism Organization as one of only sixty-five examples throughout the world of good practice in sustainability and ecotourism.

The lodge and bungalows are completely surrounded by tropical rainforest. Enormous trees and rainforest inhabitants live in natural harmony alongside the lodge itself.

Pacuare Lodge's philosophy of oneness with nature is enhanced by the romance of operating without electricity. The distinctive palm-thatched bungalows and suites are carefully designed to blend into the surrounding forest. Each features a canopy king size bed, hardwood flooring, private veranda, and a spacious private bathroom adorned with brass fixtures, private alfresco shower with solar heated water, and a nearly 360º rainforest view-all within an area seemingly removed from time and the worries of the outside world, yet just two and a half hours from San José, Costa Rica's capital city.
