Have you ever seen a real rain forest? If you're
looking for a true tropical jungle environment, unspoiled, virtually unvisited haven,
where you can explore the ecosystem at your own pace, and do it from the comfortable
seclusion of a cozy jungle hideaway, come up to the northern zone of Costa Rica and visit
"La Laguna del Lagarto Lodge".
Located approximately 150 km (90 miles) from San José and
just 12 km (7 miles) from the Nicaraguan border, La Laguna del Lagarto Lodge is surrounded
by 500 hectares (1,250 acres) of prestine, virgin tropical rainforest. At your leisure,
you can roam through this tropical paradise alone or with a local guide, on more than ten
miles of well maintained foot trails. Red and green poison dart frogs are plentiful, as
are all three species of monkey. Toucans, parrots, alligators, and Jesus Christ Lizards
are common sightings, as are an incredible variety of plants and approximately 150 species
of trees. In addition, over 350 different species of birds have been recorded, among them
the rare Great Green Macaw. There are also small pepper, heart of palms, yucca and
pineapple plantations, where you can see typical tropical farming procedures. A butterfly
garden is also present, containing over 10 different species, inlcuding the colorful and
highly recognizeable blue morpho butterfly.
The lodge is secluded and cozy, we have only 20 double rooms,
all of which include hot water and ceiling fans; 18 rooms have private baths. Our open
view restaurant features a traditional Costa Rican menu at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The locally grown food ensures tasteful and healthy meals, in addition to the tropical
drinks and snacks which are made available throughout the day. The lodges balcony serves
as a terrific resting point for viewing the many forest edge birds which so often makes
themselves visible, including the raptors and carrion feeders which are now rare in most
of Costa Rica.
