Rara Avis is Costa Rica’s oldest and purest Rainforest Lodge. Whether you are learning to understand the rainforest with naturalist guides, swimming in crystalline jungle waterfalls, or simply relaxing and watching birds from the hammock on your balcony, Rara Avis is completely isolated from modern civilization. Riding in a covered tractor cart through the forest to get to the Waterfall Lodge draws you back in time from modern civilization of cleared cattle lands to an adventure deep in the forest.
The property has minimal electricity: there is only electricity for 3 to 4 hours at night, and only in the dining room and lodge office. You are welcome to ask the staff to recharge batteries or medical equipment. Bringing your own flashlight is essential.
Set in the rainforest, the lodge is located about 200 meters (600 ft.) from our double waterfall, at which you can swim at the base of the waterfalls in good weather.
We have electricity 3-4 hours every night only in the dining room and lodge office. You can ask for assistance from our staff to recharge batteries or medical equipment.
All meals are included. Traditional Tico fare is served in family-style meals. With evening insect songs in the background, you might choose to stick around the table and swap stories with the other guests.
