Costa Rica
Sarapiqui
La Quinta has 28 rooms spread across 23 bungalows, surrounded by a tropical garden rich in heliconias, gingers, palms and flowering trees. Each bungalow has its own veranda from which to watch the birds (close to one hundred species have been recorded at the lodge). Unless you'd rather head to the wooden deck and swimming pool near the river…
The ten hectares are made up of regenerative agriculture, a reforested area planted with native trees, old-growth forest along the riverbank, and tropical gardens.
A small spa area is also available.
Rooms have a private bathroom, hot water, towels, air conditioning, ceiling fan, dressing area, hairdryer, safe and a lovely veranda overlooking the gardens with hammocks and rocking chairs, from which you can enjoy the view of flowers and birds.
The quinta offers a beautiful, tranquil thatched-roof spa facing the river, where you can enjoy relaxing massages by qualified practitioners, by appointment.
There's no shortage of activities around Sarapiquí. Beyond visits to La Selva Biological Station, the private Selva Verde reserve, and the botanical and butterfly garden, you can go horseback riding along trails bordering the river, try your hand at white-water rafting, or simply take a boat upriver.
