Tucked away deep in the heart of Costa Rica’s most pristine rainforest environment, on the banks of the Pacuare River, lies the Pacuare Jungle Lodge, a product of Aventuras Naturales. Surrounded by nature in its purest and most primitive state, here you will experience that most coveted of travelers’ rewards, an opportunity to savor the spirit of a place.
The Pacuare Lodge’s nineteen bungalows and main lodge were designed and constructed to blend with the surrounding environment, affecting minimal impact, and has been recognized by the World Tourism Organization as one of only sixty-five examples throughout the world of good practice in sustainability and ecotourism. Lanterns and candles provide light, as there is no electricity at the lodge. No trees were cut to build the bungalows and main lodge. Lumber was purchased from a sustainable reforestation project operated by small farmers. The roofs are made from palm leaves installed by Cabecar Indians, who live in the area, using their traditional style. The only way to access the Pacuare Lodge is by raft. This is one of the most exciting features of the lodge. Guests raft in on class II & III rapids and raft out on class III & IV rapids.

Your spacious palm-thatched garden view bungalow features a canopy king size bed, futon couch, hardwood flooring, private terrace, and a spacious private bathroom adorned with burnished copper fixtures, private alfresco shower with solar heated water, and a nearly 360º rainforest view—all within an area seemingly removed from time and the worries of the outside world, yet just two and a half hours from San José, Costa Rica’s capital city.
Jungle View Room
The jungle view rooms are among our newest rooms and were especially designed for families. The room is exquisitely decorated and features a canopy king size bed, hardwood flooring, spacious terrace with hammock, and a private bathroom with heated water and rainforest view. These rooms are the only ones on our property that have limited electricity to illuminate the room & bathroom.
Linda Vista Suite
Perched on a ridge amidst exuberant tropical greenery, the four Linda Vista Suites offer unforgettable views of the Pacuare River and surrounding rain forest. Those bright and spacious (230-square-meter) suites are the Pacuare Lodge’s premier accommodations, with a simple, natural design and exquisite décor that perfectly complement the verdure and profusion of the surrounding jungle. The suites offer a level of luxury that belies their remote location – a king-size bed with Simmons Beauty Rest mattress, Egyptian cotton sheets, leather chairs, a spacious bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a long deck and a private dipping pool fed by spring water. Each bungalow was built with special attention to the hillside’s topography so that guests enjoy gorgeous views of the river and forest from every area – the bedroom, living room, bathroom, deck and pool.
Each Linda Vista Suite also has a mini bar, room safe, bathrobes and a telephone to communicate with the main building, as well as an innovative Eco-Concierge, who helps guest with tour reservations, general information and any specific needs. We are certain that the comfort of the Linda Vista Suites, coupled with the lodge’s excellent food and service, offer the most luxurious lodging experience available in the heart of a tropical rain forest.
