A Rain Forest Paradise

As the snow steadily falls outside your window, or as you scrape the frost from your windshield on a freezing cold morning, it's easy for thoughts to drift to warmer climates.  Dreams of a tropical getaway to distant beaches and exotic rain forests rush to mind. When the time comes to plan that long awaited trip, there's the matter of finding your dream destination.  The Pacuare Jungle Lodge in Costa Rica is making that job significantly easier.

The Pacuare Jungle Lodge is nestled into the Costa Rican rain forest along the Pacuare River.  Tucked away between the river and their own private 740 acre nature reserve, the Pacuare Lodge eco-friendly bungalows are surrounded by nature's beauty.

The beautifully finished bungalows have been designed and built with environmental sensitivity in mind.  The wood used to build, was sourced from tree farms, while the thatch used for the roofs has been collected by the lodge's Cabecar Indian neighbors.  Additional attributes including solar-heated water and low-impact septic systems have also been put in place to help minimize the impact on the surrounding environment.

Pacuare Lodge has implemented a number of practices to ensure sustainability.  Efforts include recycling, using organic ingredients, and reforestation.  In addition, efforts are made to work with nearby communities, supporting the local economy and improving living conditions for the area's residents.  The culmination of their social and environmental efforts is their ability to offer a carbon-neutral vacation.

Your stay at the Pacuare Lodge can be as relaxing or as full of adventure as you'd like.  The location affords great privacy for those seeking to get away from it all, while there are a host of activities available to visitors seeking to take in all they can.

Visitors to the lodge are able to soak up the beauty of their natural surroundings, with activities like bird watching, hiking, fishing and exploring the rainforest canopy. For the more adventuresome, the Pacuare River offers excellent river rafting.  At the end of the day, candlelight dinners complemented by beverages from the wine cellar, and a relaxing treatment by the massage therapist will melt away any left over tension from city life.

With a variety of packages available, including wedding and honeymoon packages, Pacuare Lodge provides an excellent escape or the ideal destination for that special occasion.  For information about the lodge including rates and reservations, please visit their website.
