The
Pacuare Lodge is conveniently located 2 hours of San Jose, roughly in the center
of Costa Rica, making it easily accessible from many of Costa Rica’s most
popular destinations. 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 travelers’ rewards,
an opportunity to savor the spirit of a place.
Honeymoon
Suite
Set high
on a lush jungle hilltop overlooking the main lodge, our newly renovated honeymoon
retreat offers newlyweds and nature-lovers alike, an exclusive haven in which
to surrender to the romantic spell of the Pacuare rainforest.
A
cobbled path leads you and your partner from the main lodge up to a knoll overlooking
the other facilities. Along the way the jungle whispers and hums with exotic
harmonies and rhythms the soft cooing of a keel-billed toucan or perhaps the
exotic and bubbly crescendo of the Montezuma Oropendola, whose large teardrop
shaped nest dangles from a towering treetop nearby.

The Pacuare Lodge thirteen bungalows and main lodge were designed and constructed
to blend with the surrounding environment, affecting minimal impact, and has
been recognized by the World Tourism Organization as one of only sixty-five
examples throughout the world of good practice in sustainability and ecotourism.
New Main Lodge
Inspired by its magnificent natural setting,the spacious main lodge has been
thoughtfully designed for the comfort and pleasure of our guests, and sets a
new standard in a Costa Rica nature experience.
Overlooking the Pacuare River,the palm-thatched, two-story structure boasts
solid teak floors, tropical flowers and plenty of fresh air, enticing guests
to come in and admire the timeless beauty of the swift-flowing river and millennial
rainforest.
On the ground floor an open-air restaurant and kitchen are always bustling
with activity as local chefs prepare delicious gourmet dishes, whole grain breads
and fresh baked desserts. Freshly brewed coffee and an assortment of organic
teas are available throughout the day and evening.
You will enjoy your meals as you are immersed within the sights, sounds and
tantalizing scents of the tropical rainforest. An expansive pine-hewn deck opens
onto the Pacuare River, offering you a panoramic view of a dense wall of green
that literally soars to kiss the heavens. Dinnertime is a particularly memorable
affair, where by the dim glow of candlelight you will savor haute cuisine served
on fine china and accented with a homegrown medley of tropical herbs and spices.
Upstairs a spacious yet cozy open-sided lounge with a small bar invites guests
to kick back and recount the day’s adventures in a relaxed and convivial
atmosphere. Locally crafted wood furnishings, hand-hewn timber beams and wrought
iron chandeliers create a warm ambiance of rustic splendor as gentle breezes
drift off the Pacuare river.
Here the views never fail to dazzle. Four lookout areas offer great vantage
points for photos of the river and lush vegetation. Comfortable wicker sofa
chairs, board games and plenty of colorful bromeliads make this a favorite area
for our guests.
The lodge and bungalows are completely surrounded by tropical rainforest. Enormous
trees and rainforest inhabitants live in natural harmony alongside the lodge
itself.
