Rio Perdido

Set on a 600-acre reserve, the hotel site is flanked by two deep canyons; one is a completely vertical gorge carrying cool waters (with a peculiar white tint), and the other is the thermal gorge of the Rio Perdido. The property is designed to be a sanctuary within the forest, allowing guests to experience the elements and get close to nature through the ever-present breezes, the crisp light and the sounds of the surrounding forest. Rio Perdido offers an abundance of recreational activities, including spa and wellness sessions, thermo-mineral pools, suspension bridges, white water tubing, 20+ miles of forest hiking trails, zip-lining and mountain-biking. It offers a more secluded way to enjoy the adventurous activties in Costa Rica for those who would prefer to avoid the busier hubs such as Arenal.

Rio Perdido offers a collection of comfortable and cosy lodges in the heart of the lush, tropical rainforest of central Costa Rica. Each of the beautifully designed eco-lodges offers ample accommodation and has a contemporary feel throughout, with striking steel beams and soft wood finishings. Set on stilts to protect the undergrowth, the individual bungalows sit in the canopy and enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding forest. In the dry season when the foliage thins, the spectacular valley opens and can be viewed from your private patio area.

Despite its secluded location, the property benefits from all of the modern amenities you would expect from a more metropolitan counterpart, including wifi, air conditioning and iPod/iPhone docks, making it perfect for those who prefer their creature comforts.
