Wilderness
we got it on our doorstep

Costa Rica without its incredible wildlife and nature wouldn’t be this Costa Rica we know and love.

Fortunately, the best places to enjoy the local flora and fauna are only a stone’s throw away from the Paradise Lodge.

Parque Reptilandia

An attraction that we could call our neighbour is the Parque Reptilandia which is only 2 minutes away by car and 25 minutes by foot.

If you or your kids prefer to rather not go into the jungle, this place offers a great alternative due to its huge variety of Costa Ricas animals, especially reptiles.

Eco Chontales Waterfall

After a 1 hour car drive and 20 minutes walking on solid paths, you will reach the bottom of the eco chontales waterfall, which is located close to platanillo.

It is a spectacular waterfall with a few little ponds down the stream in which you can take a refreshing bath.

Manuel Antonio National Park

The national park of Manuel Antonio contains an unimaginable amount of animal species. We especially advise to go with a guide, because they can – equipped with a telescope – show you every particular animal you desire to see.

Inside and next to the national park there are beautiful beaches, which qualifies Manuel Anatonio as an ideal day trip, being only a one hour drive away.

Nauyaca Waterfalls

Only 800 meters away – 9 minutes by foot – there is the starting point of the path to one of the most beautiful and famous waterfalls of Costa Rica: the Nauyaca Waterfalls.

It is the perfect place to cool yourself off or to simply enjoy the beauty of this majestic waterfall. From the starting point you can choose if you want to go by jeep, by horse or simply hike the 4 kilometres.

Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary

At Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary you will be guided through an area in which they keep the sick, injured or orphaned animals. A truly heartbreaking and very interesting experience – only 20 minutes by car!

Hacienda Baru

A place that combines action at a vertiginous height and delightful nature is Hacienda Baru.

After a 13 minutes drive, you can enjoy experiences from zip lining tours, to tree climbing and bird watching. This location truly fulfills every adventurers dream.
