The lodge was one of the first in Costa Rica to provide its electricity exclusively by its own micro-hydro system. We reduce our environmental impact by recycling our waste, we run our own composting system, treat waste waters and participate in local community programs on the Osa Peninsula a part from providing a stable workplace for over 30 local staff all year around.
Magnificent panoramas await you as you hike our trails. You may see monkeys leaping in the trees, exotic birds calling and the colorful frogs croaking away in the night. Explore hidden valleys with botanical treasures or lagoons and tide pools at the beach. The observant hiker can find sloths, kinkajous, eagles, toucans, and parrots.
Recent sightings include ocelots, pumas and several species of rare endemic birds. Secluded waterfalls and pools deep in the forest where you feel like you stepped back in time.
Breezy ridge tops where you can look down onto the canopy. Night sounds of frogs and owls will lull you into a deep sleep free of traffic noises. Wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys and parrots greeting the new day.
El Remanso Lodge is oriented to those seeking to enjoy the secrets and pleasures of a pristine rainforest experience.
