SUSTAINABILITY
Conservation is the reason the lodge exists
We operate inside the Maquenque Mixed Wildlife Refuge, in one of Costa Rica’s most authentic and least-visited corners. Protecting the forest, working with Boca Tapada and supporting environmental education are part of how the lodge runs, not additions to it.
The best measure of a stay is the story a guest tells after.
