include a first class resort adjacent to some of Costa Rica's most
beautiful beaches. The Lodge is situated on 44 acres of tropical
gardens located on the Golfo Dulce on the Osa Peninsula in Southwest
Costa Rica. The "Osa" has been described by National Geographic
as, "The most ecologically intense place on earth." In addition
to the Conference Center which accommodates up to 80 people, the Lodge
features 34 air-conditioned rooms, a swimming pool with swim-up bar,
elevated hot tub and massage room.
Each guest room
has two comfortable queen-size beds and a deck that overlooks the
surrounding gardens. Our spacious and well-stocked bar is open
from noon to 10 p.m. Domestic liquor and beer as well as your
meals at the lodge are included in the package price. The dining
room serves delicious meals including fresh-caught tuna and mahi-mahi

| The Osa
Peninsula is a lushly forested land jutting into the Pacific.
Beneath the surface of the offshore waters which can run several
thousand feet deep, is the Cocos Ridge, that runs all the way to
the Galapagos. The complex mix of shallow and deep waters
attracts a wide variety of fish, all within a short boat ride from
the lodge.
On shore, the rainforest is filled
with howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, tropical birds and other
animals. Much of the Osa is protected in Corcovado National
Park. In addition to the on-site butterfly house, the lodge
arranges a variety of adventure trips and ecotours every day which
are a delight for anyone interested in tropical nature. |

hand look at what resides beneath the water. We will take you to
sheltered areas in the Golfo Dulce, perfect for snorkeling.
Underwater volcanic outcroppings with attached aquatic plants attract
Pacific reef fish including Golden Jack, Blue and Gold Snapper,
Freckled Porcupine Fish, Bumphead Parrot Fish, Spotted Eagle Ray,
Spotted Scorpion fish and Giant Hawk fish. |

you walk through our on-site butterfly houses. Among the many
species raised by our butterfly expert are Morpho Amathonte, Morpho
Peliedes, Caligo Eurilochuis, Caligo Memnon and the Papilio
Cresphontes. |
