La Leona Ecolodge
Corcovado - Costa Rica
Like being in paradise...
Best place for ecotourism in Costa Rica.
La Leona Ecolodge, is a vacation spot that offers a unique experience for nature lovers and follows the philosophy of ecotourism.
The idea for this pioneer project was born in 1978, when the Morales Polanco family had a dream: the founding of an eco tourism project in the area of Carate, neighboring the new founded Corcovado National Park. With this new Project, they became the first Costa Rican family to develop an ecolodge on the Osa Peninsula.
La Leona Ecolodge, protects over 90 acres of primary forest in its private reserve, combined with 340 acres more, that is protected by this Costa Rican family since 1976.
The unique design of the ecolodge invites you to enjoy the scenic beauty from the deck of your tent. You can feel the refreshing ocean breeze, and enjoy a romantic and colorful sunset. At the same time you can experience the magic atmosphere of the surrounding tropical rainforest with all its sounds and aromas.
The tented camp stretches along the beach-front, providing spectacular panoramic views overlooking the Pacific Ocean; while you are in the heart of the rainforest.
This might be the reason why our guests have expressed it like ¨being in paradise”, we have the exquisite combination of ocean and forest at the same place!
We offer a variety of activities for experiencing the beautiful rain forest like guided hikes into the famous Corcovado National Park, horse back riding on the beach, local gold digging handicraft tour, and educational seasonal turtle watching, just to name a few.
Enjoy a relaxing siesta in one of the hammocks on the beachfront while listening to the sounds of the rain forest!
For us at La Leona Eco Lodge it is a privilege that you come to experience the complexity and the evolutionary work of nature. We feel you can be part of our goal to preserve the natural resources of such a pristine place, and to protect in a sustainable way, for future generations.
