La Carolina LodgeTHE RANCH AND SURROUNDING TERRAIN

La Carolina lodge sits on 170 acres in northwestern outback of Costa Rica.

We have 4,500 feet of river front, with a backdrop of rich, tropical forest. Toucans, squawking green parrots, and hummingbirds are just a few of the birds nesting in the jungle canopy.

 

The ranch is also home to many tropical mammals like sloths, anteaters, kinkajous and coitis, as well as giant butterflies, bromeliads, wild orchids, and other flora. Approximately 85 acres are dedicated to pastoral farmland for our cattle and horses, citrus groves and vegetable gardens. From the hilltops, one has stunning views of the neighboring volcanoes, Tenorio and Miravalles.

Home-style meals are cooked over a wood burning stove or open grill. We make fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemonade from our private grove of 750 citrus trees.

Many of our vegetables are hand picked daily from our garden. Our dairy provides us with fresh milk and homemade cheese. Meals are "platos tipicos"—prepared from delicious, local Costa Rican recipes—with beef, pork, chicken, fish, beans and rice. Vegetarian meals are available upon request.

ELECTRICITY
