Description:
Terrapin Lodge is located in remote Carate, on
the Pacific side of the Osa Peninsula. The
facility is located on 12 hectares of tropical
rain forest and manicured gardens. We are
located a few minutes' walk from the raging
Pacific Ocean and bound Pejeperrito Lagoon.
Terrapin Lodge includes foothills rising up from
the coastal plane to the forested mountains that
are contiguous with Corcovado National Park,
itself only one hour away by foot.
There is a profusion of wildlife that can be
seen from the Terrapin Lodge grounds, and there
is a private reserve in the mountains behind the
property that can be explored by hiking up the
stream. There is basically no difference
between this primary rain forest and the nearby
Park, which itself is the Crown Jewel of the
Costa Rican National Park system.
Lodging at Terrapin includes use of facility
kayaks on the nearby lagoon. We can help
you to secure personalized guiding services for
trips into the park or for a variety of tours in
the Carate area. There are also many
self-guiding options, including horseback
riding, waterfall tours, lagoon kayaking, beach,
river exploration, and of course hiking through
the forest.
The rain forest is home to a vast array of exotic
wildlife including the scarlet macaw, toucan,
four types of monkeys, two types of sloth,
peccaries, anteaters, five varieties of large
cats, and a variety of other bird, reptile, mammal, and insect species
sure to delight photographers, birders, naturalists,
and wildlife enthusiasts.
When you are ready to cool off, beautiful Carate
Beach and Playa Madrigal await. Beach lovers can
swim, surf the famous break, kayak, whale watch,
and visit our Green Sea Turtle Hatchery. Horseback
rides on the beach allow you to ride under the
trees and view the wildlife overhead in the canopy.
Later, you can sleep secure in your screened cabin
as the tropical breeze carries in the night songs
of the rainforest and recharge for a new day of
adventure travel.
We offer five picturesque cabins in the heart
of the rainforest - three with ocean views - and
a centrally located lodge and bar for your dining
and drinking pleasure
In a friendly little country far, far away...
Where the land slopes gently toward the western
sea, Chattering monkeys frolic in the canopy far
above the jungle floor.
Under the watchful eyes of brilliantly colored
macaws And a soft breeze caresses your face at
a special place known as Terrapin Lodge.
This is a Costa Rica adventure travel must.
All at an affordable price in one of the most
beautiful spots in the world!
