The
main lodge and bungalows line three ridges connected by walking paths
and steps. Built over 350 feet above the sea, Lapa Rios catches the
cooling tropical breezes. The main lodge, housing the restaurant and
bar, soars 50 feet and is built of local, natural materials. Palm
thatched roofs meet a three-story hardwood circular stairway. Climb to
overlook the forest canopy and breathtaking ocean vistas. Comfortable,
locally made bamboo furniture adds to relaxation in this tranquil
panorama of nature.

Sixteen spacious
suiita-thatch
bungalows nestled within the rain forest exude harmony and an immense
tranquility in this undisturbed environment.
An infinite feeling of
freedom
lingers in the bungalow's air, while fresh rain forest breezes race in
through awesome screened wall windows, forming flawless paintings of
the Pacific Ocean.

guided tours in the Lapa Rios Reserve help support the ongoing
maintenance of the reserve. The tours also help, in a moderate way, to
preserve the National Park Corcovado by paying for a ranger to guard
the park. Choosing to hike and learn with a knowledgeable local guide
gives the community continuing economic support and demonstrates that
this diverse lowland tropical rain forest left standing is more
valuable than one cut down. |
