Buena Vista del Rincón

Northwestern Costa Rica


Part cattle ranch, part adventure lodge, this expansive place is set on 809 hectares in the park's western sector. On the grounds are three waterfalls, thermal pools, a canopy tour, hanging bridges and a thrilling 420m mountain waterslide. Choose between rustic stained-wood rooms and more private log cabins with glorious views. This lodge caters to package tourists big time.

Accessible via the village of Cañas Dulces. The resort's sustainable practices include composting, environmental education classes and using methane gas for cooking and to run the laundry's dryers.
