ABOUT US

Hidden in the hilltops overlooking the pristine beaches of Costa Rica's still-virgin south pacific, where the ocean crashes into the jungle sits La Cusinga.  Tucked away in a private reserve of over 600 acres, this rainforest lodge provides guests with sweeping ocean views, sandy beaches, natural pools, and the chance to experience the burgeoning forests and astonishing wildlife of the country's most famous ecosystem - OSA.  The hotel offers ten rustic cabins designed with sustainably-harvested wood and local materials to maximize comfort while minimizing impact on the environment.  The open-air restaurant creates an ideal setting for couples and families alike to enjoy delicious tropical dishes made with fresh produce grown on our farm. 

In addition to the hundreds of acres of privately-owned primary and secondary forest, the lodge borders the Ballena Marine National Park, one of only two nationally-protected marine zones in the whole country.  The lodge's genuine commitment to sustainable  practices along with our first-hand experience in local and national conservation efforts enrich our guests' appreciation of these ecosystems and the importance of their continued preservation.  This unique insight enhances the exploration of the natural surroundings while the beautiful location offers the tranquility of fresh ocean breezes and breathtaking sunsets that make for the perfect tropical escape.

ACTIVITIES

Guests will enjoy observing the diversity of Costa Rican wildlife hiking along a variety of trails at the lodge.  Winding through the ancient vegetation of our pristine rainforest or along beautiful isolated beaches, from three-hour treks to thirty minute walks, visitors can hope to see an abundance of flora and fauna, including morpho butterflies, tree frogs, hawks, parrots, toucans, howler monkeys, dolphins, turtles, and the great Humpback whale.
