Lapa Rios Lodge

Lapa Rios, a Böëna Wilderness Lodges member, was envisioned as a project with the objective to protect its endangered surroundings. Today, the 17-bungalow lodge preserves more than 1,000 acres of primary and secondary rainforest and assists in the development of the local community. Since its opening in 1993 the lodge´s incredible environment offers rainforest adventures, wildlife encounters and ocean activities, with a myriad of opportunities to connect with a truly enigmatic ecosystem. Guests can enjoy interpretive hikes, bird watching walks, and sustainability tours to connect with Osa´s wild beauty and importance. Since its inception, Lapa Rios has pioneered conservation efforts on the Osa Peninsula. In addition to its agreement with the Corcovado Foundation, the lodge maintains a 1,000-acre private reserve and is responsible for spearheading several ongoing social and environmental initiatives with local communities. In September 2019, Lapa Rios began designing and implementing new solar and hydro energy sources. The property now features a robust system of 220 solar panels and 10 nano turbines that provide all of its energy needs, taking it 100% off the grid.
