Rainbow Adventures Lodge, constructed of beautiful native woods by local master craftsmen and is set in a lush tropical garden. Beyond are thousands of acres of pristine jungle, now part of Corcovado National Park Expansion. A few steps away is a mile-long private beach lined with hundreds coconut palms.

The main level (dining area and lounge) is completely open to the gorgeous surroundings. No windows or curtains are needed in this climate, and neither TV nor telephone will interrupt your enjoyment of paradise. The second level has three double rooms with private baths and views. They open onto a veranda with a panorama of swaying palms, a dazzeling array of tropical ornamentals and the blue Golfo Dulce. The penthouse suite, on the third level, commands an even more spectacular 360° view of this paradise.

Nearby, Rainbow Adventures' private Cabinas offer additional privacy and seclusion. Each includes one large bedroom (or two mini-bedrooms if desired), one small bedroom, veranda and bathroom. Fashioned from exotic local woods, they are surrounded by brilliantly flowering shrubs and have their own private view and entrance to the beach.

A pleasantly rustic ambiance is blended with finished woodwork, artistically handmade furniture and fresh flowers. All rooms have a private bath with hot water, queen bed and are partially open to the jungle so you can enjoy its beauty.

Three gourmet meals are served daily, including fresh local fish, fresh fruit drinks, homemade bread and Costa Rican favorites. No charge for special diets or non-alcoholic drinks.

Rainbow Adventures-Costa Rica Biological Research Center is home of the largest private Natural History Library in Costa Rica and provides a rewarding atmosphere for field research in tropical botany, ornithology, oceanography, entomology, and zoology.
