Rio Perdido is an intimate eco-hotel celebrated for its impressive sustainability credentials, including an Elite Level certification in the Costa Rican Tourism Institute’s Sustainable Tourism program. Situated within a vast 1,500-acre wildlife reserve, the hotel is surrounded by one of the rarest ecosystems in the world, featuring lush jungle-filled canyons and a unique dwarf forest on the higher elevations. Each bungalow is accessible via its own private pathway, seamlessly connecting it to the rest of the hotel and the surrounding forest trails. With singed wood walls and private terraces nestled high in the leafy canopy, guests are immersed in the natural environment, offering a feeling of living among the trees. This harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces extends to the hotel’s stunning open-air restaurant, where you can savour authentic Costa Rican dishes like casado and sip on purified spring water or a signature cocktail, both sourced directly from the hotel grounds. Whether relaxing on your terrace or dining al fresco, you’ll be treated to views of a vibrant kaleidoscope of flora and fauna within this extraordinarily diverse ecosystem. And as a special touch, the calls of Howler and Capuchin monkeys will serve as your natural alarm clock, enhancing the deep connection to nature that defines a stay at Rio Perdido.
