Overview
Welcome to The Rios Lodge, formerly known as Rio Tropicales Ecolodge, a rustic retreat nestled in the heart of the forest at the mouth of the mesmerizing Pacuare Gorge. Spread across 2,409 acres of private reserve, this ecolodge promises an immersive experience in nature's beauty. Wander along miles of scenic trails leading to enchanting waterfalls, serene streams, and refreshing river pools, all surrounded by tropical gardens. Accessing the lodge is an adventure in itself, as you can only reach it by thrilling whitewater rafting on the stunning Pacuare River.
The Pacuare River flows through one of Costa Rica's wildest and most stunning regions, where lush mountains are cloaked in primary and secondary rainforests, teeming with rare and endangered wildlife. Indigenous communities also call this area home, adding to its cultural richness. Since there is no grid power here, the lodge relies on creative hydroelectric power, used thoughtfully and conservatively.
At The Rios Lodge, you can unwind in hammocks overlooking the picturesque river, explore the lodge's inviting trails, or opt for exciting activities at an additional cost. From the Rainforest Restoration Tour to Canopy Ziplining and more, there's something for every adventurer.
During your stay, indulge in a meal plan offering fresh, locally sourced meals, supporting nearby communities and ensuring the freshest culinary delights. The lodge's no-frills rooms exude a natural charm, embracing the serene surroundings, with natural ventilation and private baths featuring stone-tiled showers. Electricity may be limited, keeping you truly connected to nature.
In summary, The Rios Lodge offers a unique opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of Costa Rica in a remote and rustic setting. Leave modern amenities behind and embrace an unforgettable moment in time at this true eco-lodge. Welcome to a slice of paradise where nature reigns supreme, and memories are made to last a lifetime.
