The lodge is built on a 17-acre property, surrounded by Heliconias gardens, fruit trees, and tropical vegetation, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. You'll be close to various attractions, such as Tenorio National Park, Spring Paradise, Frog's Paradise, Valley Tapir, and Caño Negro Refuge, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
