Pacuare Lodge, Limon, Costa Rica
The Pacuare Lodge is nestled in a rainforest overlooking the Pacuare River, which National Geographic has listed as one of the worlds top ten scenic rivers. Getting to this exquisite eco-lodge is half the adventure, since you arrive and depart as part of a multi-day rafting tour on the Pacuare River. All of the staff at the Lodge are from local communities, and the friendly casual atmosphere has been cited by guests as one of the most pleasant aspects of their stay. Here you can retreat into tranquil luxury. Your spacious palm-thatched River View Deluxe suite includes a private terrace that opens on to stunning views of the Pacuare River and the surrounding jungle. Or stay in one of the bungalows with a high thatched roof, plantation teak floors and wide screened windows providing a 180 degree rainforest view. Guests have the opportunity to experience an unforgettable meal in the Nest, a platform 60 feet above the jungle floor in the branches of century-old Kapok tree, considered a sacred tree by the ancient Mayans. Nothing is closer to nature and beauty like this enchanted Lodge. Be prepared to fall in love!
