Bosque del Cabo Rainforest Lodge

Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica

Text©Beatrice Blake-New Key to Costa Rica

Down a mile-long driveway through the forest, Bosque del Cabo has a spectacular view of the ocean from above Playa Matapalo at the very southern tip of the Osa Peninsula. You can walk or take a horseback ride down to the beach, where there is a beautiful waterfall pool, or slide Tarzan-like on a cable to a wildlife observation platform 110 feet up in a manú tree in the middle of the forest. You can wander the trails on your own, looking for monkeys and sloths, or call on the resident naturalist to guide you. Ten chic, tropical-style individual bungalows are perched at the edge of a semi-circular cliff overlooking the sea. They are spacious, with porches and unique outdoor showers decorated with creative mosaic work. Mosaic outdoor tubs let you relax in the water’s warmth while gazing at the stars. Screened and louvered windows allow you to adjust the natural air flow inside the room. There are several more bungalows with garden and jungle views.

The restaurant serves good international food and is receptive to vegetarians. Three houses are available for a weekly rental of $2000-$2700/week, meals not included. With advance notice, they can arrange a taxi from Puerto Jiménez for $25 each way. Recommended.
