If you’re looking for accommodations in Costa Rica, here are three great ecolodge options that I think you’ll love:
- Lapa Rios Ecolodge (involves flight to San Jose, internal flight to Osa Pennisula)
Minnesota natives John and Karen Lewis liquidated their assets to purchase the land for Lapa Rios Ecolodge, a resort with bungalows lining three rainforest ridges. A three-story hardwood circular stairway in the main lodge and a lookout onto the rainforest canopy are highlights. Activities focus on the forest and the nearby ocean, with hiking, birding, kayaking, horseback riding and surfing among the most popular distractions.
Also located on the Osa Pennisula and famous throughout the world is the 42,000-hectare Corcovado National Park, home to almost 400 species of birds, 140 species of mammals, 116 species of amphibians and reptiles, over 500 species of trees, and more than 6,000 species of insects. With 13 major ecosystems, the park protects endangered species such as the jaguar, puma, crocodile, tapir, poison dart frogs, and the harpy eagle. The expansive beaches of the Osa, especially those near Carate, are also major nesting sites for several varieties of sea turtles.
- Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation & Inn (close to San Jose)
Views of volcanoes, cloud forests and coffee plantations abound from this resort in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, which is at an elevation of 4,000 feet above sea level and sits on 10 acres of fruit trees and tropical flora. Guided tours to nearby national parks, cloud forests, biological rain forest reserves, and botanical gardens offer a multitude of eco-educational opportunities.
- Arenas del Mar Beach & Nature Resort (4 hours by car or a short 20 minute flight from San Jose)
Explore Manuel Antonio, one of the most famous and smallest National Parks in Costa Rica, covering fewer than 680 hectares (1,680 acres), also its surroundings and different activities. highlights of this park are its two white sand beaches, 109 mammal species, such as 3 species of monkeys, agouti, three-toed sloth and 184 species of birds.
I hope you like the results you get. I am still using it since this original post from a couple of months ago. I am quite pleased. I have tried & discarded enough cosmetics to stock a small store. LOL
I agree you shouldn't "keep reading" but I don't believe in moving on to the next chapter if I speed-read the last one without comprehending it. Then I agree, move on, the better for having analyzed. Sometimes we stick with the old chapters because t
