Secluded rainforest lodge offering all-inclusive stays with on-site dining, outdoor activities, a saltwater pool, and a spa

Nestled deep within the verdant heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, alongside the rushing waters of the Pacuare River, lies Pacuare River Lodge. A secluded and special retreat established in 1986, it provides an authentic and unforgettable experience for those who venture within. Reaching this remarkable destination is part of the adventure itself. Access to the lodge is uniquely achieved by traversing the thrilling whitewater rapids of the Pacuare River, navigating rugged terrain in a sturdy 4WD vehicle originating from the charming town of Santa Marta, or even arriving via a breathtaking helicopter ride. This unique inaccessibility makes Pacuare River Lodge an especially attractive destination for travelers seeking a truly remote and adventurous escape from the everyday.

One of the most appealing aspects of the lodge is its perfect location. Its close proximity to both the powerful river and the lush rainforest grants guests unparalleled opportunities to engage in a plethora of exciting and immersive activities. Guests can partake in exhilarating rafting expeditions, soar through the rainforest canopy on thrilling ziplines, and explore hidden waterfalls and canyons through guided canyoning tours, all without the inconvenience of lengthy travel times. The adventure begins as soon as you arrive.

To begin your journey to this unique haven, you will first meet your welcoming hosts in Finca Tres Equis, a location conveniently situated between the towns of Turrialba and Siquirres. Here, your hosts will ensure the safety and security of your rental car, providing a private and secure location for parking during your stay. This thoughtful service ensures peace of mind as you embark on your rainforest adventure.

Pacuare River Lodge features around 20 exquisitely designed guestrooms, each radiating a sense of understated elegance. Among these are the luxurious Jaguar Villa, complete with its own private, spring-fed pool that offers stunning views of the flowing river and the surrounding lush rainforest canopy, as well as the similarly remarkable Canopy Villa. Each independent villa is carefully positioned to maximize immersion within the surrounding jungle, ensuring complete peace and quiet for every guest. The villas are thoughtfully appointed with exquisite details, including beautiful teak floors, handcrafted hardwood furniture, and stylish bamboo accents. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of high-speed WiFi, naturally sourced toiletries, and an abundance of natural light that streams through the large windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.

Adding to the exceptional experience, Pacuare River Lodge offers notable amenities such as the Jawa Juü Spa, whose name is derived from an Indigenous Cabécar term meaning “house of the healer,” and the delightful Nairi Awari Restaurant. The spa, peacefully nestled within the rainforest, provides a range of rejuvenating treatments using only the finest natural and organic products. At the restaurant, guests can savor a diverse array of Costa Rican, American, and European fusion dishes, all expertly prepared with the freshest locally sourced ingredients. Furthermore, the lodge boasts a shallow saltwater infinity pool that offers stunning views of the surrounding rainforest. This unique pool is chlorine-free, heated passively by innovative radiating tiles, and is rarely crowded, offering the perfect environment for a peaceful and relaxing swim. To facilitate easy navigation around the expansive property, the lodge provides golf carts for guest use. They even provide complimentary rubber boots for guests eager to explore the trails and immerse themselves fully in the rainforest environment.
