Our Costa Rica lodge sponsors Tree Day celebration

0

Drummer from school at Playa CativoIt was a truly amazing event on June 15th as an animated group of young school children paraded with their drums at the Aboretum Luis Jorge Poveda Alvarez in the Reserva Forestal of Golfo Dulce. This band of drums made of recycled buckets is called “The Downpour,” and the little drummers put on an entertaining show during the celebration of the Centenarium of Tree Day in Costa Rica.

Celebrating its second anniversary on the same day, the Arboretum is an initiative of ACOSA (Osa Conservation Area), SINAC (National System of Conservation Areas) and MINAE (Environmental National Ministry).

This was the second year that Playa Cativo Lodge in Southern Costa Rica donated all of the t-shirts for the event and staff from our rainforest lodge also took part in the reforestation activities. Playa Cativo also participated in a hands-on project by planting a number of endangered-tree species to create an area called the Centenarium Forest.

Playa Cativo is a green ecolodge in Costa Rica and committed to preserving the environment for future generations.

Finding a Luxury Eco Lodge in Costa Rica

One Couple’s Internet Journey to Find the Perfect Costa Rica Getaway


?????????????????????????????????????????It was time to plan our next Costa Rica vacation, and my husband and I had a dilemma. While I was dreaming of a romantic getaway and luxury accommodations, my husband wanted a taste of the tropical rainforest and close encounters with wildlife! We decided to search online for Costa Rica luxury eco lodges with first-class service and authentic wildlife observation. We knew it wouldn’t be an easy task!

Late at night there’s no chance of finding a reliable travel agent for our trip to Costa Rica, so our search started with Google. We were amazed at the different rainforest lodges, options and qualities. Soon we started to focus on eco lodges with sustainable operations.

How to Get to Our Eco Lodge in Costa Rica

0

 

playa_cativo_ecolodge_boatingImagine sitting in your office with papers stacked high upon your desk today . . . and sipping a tropical specialty drink in your private casita on the beach at Playa Cativo tomorrow! Let our Guest Services team help you plan the details for your trip to our luxury rainforest lodge!

Direct flights enter Costa Rica from many cities in North America, Central America, South America and Europe. A valid passport is required and a visa is necessary for some countries. (United States citizens do not need a visa.) Most international flights arrive at Juan Santamaría Airport (our preferred airport) near San José, and some fly into Daniel Oduber Airport in Liberia, which is farther from Playa Cativo.

Once in Costa Rica, you can choose between air transportation (55 minutes from San José) and ground transportation (5-7 hours) to get to Puerto Jimenez or Golfito, the two local ports of entry to Playa Cativo. The last portion of your voyage is a 25-minute scenic boat ride into the heart of the rainforest, courtesy of Playa Cativo Eco Lodge.

SANSA and Nature Air operate daily domestic commercial flights. Private charter flights are also available. We are happy to plan your domestic travel arrangements, including to and from other destinations in Costa Rica. Please keep in mind that all domestic flights have a 30-pound baggage limit per person. Heavier baggage or extra luggage might not be carried the same day, and will probably require an extra fee.

Call or email us now to make reservations for a Costa Rica experience you will never forget! Visit www.playacativo.com for details.
