Rio Perdido

Add to wishlist Contact us

Rio Perdido stands out for its remote location and easy access to the little-visited Palo Verde National Park; one of the best wildlife and bird watching locations in Costa Rica.

Despite the rather industrial design, 30 forest bungalows offer a tasteful and comfortable base for guests.

The East bungalows have a terrace with a hammock and for those that can’t quite leave the mod-cons behind, you will find Wi-Fi, a TV and A/C. The 10 Centre Bungalows are the most recent addition. Much larger, they provide an elevated terrace with hammock, a spacious bathroom and outdoor copper showers.

Why we like Rio Perdido

For its remote location, incredible views, unspoilt environment and impressive thermal rivers.

Activities

Rio Perdido hosts the mother of all canopy adventures. Several zip lines have been installed across the Rio Blanco Canyon to create adrenaline heaven. If you don’t have a head for heights, you will also find activities such as mountain biking, hiking and rafting. And should that still feel too much like hard work, there is a delightful swimming pool fed by thermal waters or indeed the beautiful thermal rivers themselves offer inviting pools for you to enjoy.
