Northern Lowlands - Lagarto Lagoon Lodge

(Local Name: La Laguna del Lagarto Lodge) This lodge covers 500ha/1,235ac of one of the most remote areas in Costa Rica. It is known to be one of the only places where the rare, great green macaw is frequently sighted. At least 250 species of birds have also been recorded in the area, and monkeys, frogs, caimans and other animals are seen here as well.

The mostly rainforested grounds feature a lagoon, several foot trails, and horses and canoes available for use. Several excursions on foot, boat or horseback are offered from the lodge to nearby natural attractions and rivers. Many researchers have used the lodge as a base for studying the green macaw.
