Distinctive Accommodations
Night 1: Grano de Oro
Situated on a shady street just off Paseo Colon, San Jose’s main thoroughfare, Hotel Grano de Oro is a true oasis in the heart of the city. Converted from a Tropical Victorian mansion, the 40-room hotel maintains the warmth and comfort of a private home with all the amenities of a fine hotel. Service is paramount and the perpetually smiling staff of the Hotel Grano de Oro welcome guests to their “home away from home” time and again.
Nights 2-4: Casa Corcovado Lodge
Located in a prime location on the edge of Corcovado National Park, the Casa Corcovado Lodge offers Spanish colonial-style Bungalows spread around a lucious garden for maximum privacy. This unique lodge was constructed with the highest concern for conservation in harmony with the landscape and the environment and is commited to responsible tourism.
Nights 5-6: Savegre Lodge
Fifty-five miles south of San José in a private natural reserve of 400 hectares and only five miles from Los Quetzales National Park, Hotel Savegre is the ideal starting point for exploring Costa Rica's magnificent tropical cloud forest in all its beauty. Hotel Savegre's services are the perfect complement for every nature lover seeking a memorable experience.
A few more reasons why you've gotta go:
1. Considered the "crown jewel" of the Costa Rica national park system, Corcovado National Park has been described by National Geographic as one of the most biologically intense places on Earth.
2. Though Costa Rica is a very small country, it contains 5% of the world's plant and animal species.
3. In Costa Rica, the Quetzal bird primarily eats wild avacado, which they swallow whole! Many believe that it is through the Quetzal bird that the avacado seeds are spread.
