History
Pacuare Lodge sits deep in the rainforest along the Pacuare River in Costa Rica's Limón province, reachable primarily by white-water raft. It was established around 1990 by Roberto Fernández, who fell in love with the river valley while rafting and set out to build an eco-lodge that would help protect the surrounding forest.
The lodge comprises roughly 20 thatched-roof suites and bungalows built with local materials and set among old-growth trees, offering off-grid luxury, a canopy-level suite and a strong conservation ethos that has made it one of Central America's pioneering eco-luxury retreats.
