Lapa Rios is a boutique rainforest lodge located near the southernmost point of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. The lodge is surrounded by 1,000 acres of private rainforest reserve—habitat for colorful frogs, monkeys, sloths, and more than 300 bird species.
The lodge was born out of a desire to protect its endangered surroundings. Today, the lodge preserves more than 1,000 acres of rainforest, and assists in the development of the local community. Guests can look forward to rainforest adventures, wildlife encounters, and ocean activities.
