La Cusinga Lodge is a coastal rainforest eco lodge dedicated to marine and terrestrial conservation and environmental education. Its location on the southern Pacific coast provides guests with sweeping ocean views and a relaxing beach vacation. In addition La Cusinga is part of a private nature reserve that supplies the visitor with an unparalleled look at Costa Rican wildlife and rainforest.

The reserve consists primarily of 250 hectares of virgin rainforest that borders thousands of more acres of privately protected forest. On Costa Rica's still wild south-western Pacific coast, La Cusinga Lodge borders Ballena Marine National Park which was developed to protect the humpback whales that frequent the coast.

La Cusinga Lodge was established in order to share the unique site with Costa Ricans as well as international visitors. Besides getting exposure to rural Costa Rican culture and beautiful vistas, visitors have access to highly prolific areas of primary tropical rainforest and unspoiled coast, all conveniently accessible.

La Cusinga maintains several trails that wind through the pristine protected rainforest and along the beautiful beaches. From three-hour treks through the forest to short walks down to the beach there are trails for all ages and abilities.

On each trail the visitor is sure to get a glimpse of the diverse Costa Rican wildlife. Wildlife at La Cusinga is abundant and you will see many species that may include: morpho butterflies, tree frogs, ospreys, parrots, parakeets, toucans, howler monkeys, bottle-nosed dolphins, hawksbill turtles and the great humpback whale.

Accommodation

The private cabins at La Cusinga have magnificent ocean views and contain 2-3 beds, hot water and comfortable breezy rooms.

You will have the comfort of having a great room, with the best view in the area, where you can see great sunsets, the whales when they are in the bay, dolphins, pelicans, and be surrounded by nature.

With huge ocean views, each breezy room is made from trees planted on the same farm 20 years ago. Local craftsmanship with wood, stone, shell, and sand were the materials used to make this unique place. Our lodge has the delicacy to combine not only the breath taking view but also the positive energy of the people, flora and fauna that lives here.
