Danta
Corcovado Lodge
La
Palma - Rincon de Osa
Danta Lodge exudes warmth, creativity, and style. Unwind in one of our hammocks after a long day of adventure or simple spend the day disconnecting from your hectic lives letting Mother Nature heal and energize.
Danta Lodge is a 35 hectare farm located in Guadalupe (La Palma), only 8km away from the Los Patos sector of the Corcovado National Park, and the closest place to the Guaymi Indigenous Reserve. The Lodge is a local family business that aspires to be a leader and an example of ecological design and creativity, conservation and sustainability in the beautiful Osa Península.
All wood used in constructing the lodge is made from reforested wood that the owner’s father, Juvenal, planted 15 years ago. All details are uniquely designed from leftover stumps, branches, and odd pieces left behind by the neighbours; here at Danta nothing goes to waste. The rooms are a delightful combination of simplicity and a splash of whimsical creativity: polished teak floors, ceiling fans, screened twisted branch windows, comfortable Surá beds with unique towering headboards, tree “cookie” mirrors and bedside tables, clean and colourful bedding and towels, and many more distinctive details.
Tours
Come and join us for one of our many tours! Our most popular day tour includes a horseback ride to Corcovado National Park where you can hike through a pristine forest and picnic next to a beautiful waterfall. Another popular tour is a short hike to the Guaymi Indigenous Reserve. It is just as easy to enjoy the Golfo Dulce as it is the rainforest. Go kayaking in the mangroves or simply float around in a beach that is seldom crowded. Stay at the lodge relaxing in a hammock with a book or hike our private trails that wind through regeneration and heart of palm plantations, secondary and primary forests. We also have an exciting Night Jungle Walk that makes a loop around our lagoon. Don’t miss out on the possibility of seeing caimans, kinkajou, tarantulas, luminescent mushrooms and more!
Meals
All meals are prepared by locals and are authentic Costa Rican dishes. We try to be innovative with what is in season so that you will enjoy a variety of tastes.
Danta Lodge offers a variety of lodgings:
- covered and screened platforms for backpackers
- an inviting lodge with distinctive and soulful style
- private bungalows nestled further in the forest for the ultimate getaway.
