Esquinas Rainforest Lodge, nestled in the lush, thick forest of Piedras Blancas National Park in Costa Rica‘s remote southern zone, is the perfect jungle retreat for eco-tourists seeking adventure off the beaten track. It is completely integrated into its environment so the visitor can truly experience the feeling of living in a Costa Rican jungle. If you are interested in getting away from the typical crowded tourist spots and enjoying the wilderness of a pristine rainforest, Esquinas Lodge is the perfect destination for you.

Esquinas Rainforest Lodge is part of a model project which combines nature conservation, rainforest research and development aid. Opened in 1994, the lodge was financed by the government of Austria and has a strong commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices as well as community development.

We are located near the village of La Gamba, only three miles off the Interamerican Highway and a 30-minute drive from Golfito airport. Esquinas Lodge provides an abundance of different full-day and half-day tours that highlight the natural biodiversity of a tropical rainforest. These include hiking, birdwatching, horseback and mountain bike tours, and boat and kayak trips in nearby Golfo Dulce. At Esquinas, no more than 30 people at a time can be found exploring an area as larger than Manuel Antonio National Park, which receives 150,000 visitors per year.
