Lodge Osa
Osa
Peninsula Costa Rica
...rainforest,
river and sea
...jungle rhythms, oceanic tranquility
...nestled high among the trees
...adventure, enchantment, seclusion
Have you ever
visited a place so enchanting,
so fascinating, so alive that
no matter where you go in your
life, or what you do from that
point on, the memory of that particular
journey and its adventures remain
indelibly fixed in your mind?
Maybe you are sitting in your
office, or mowing your lawn, or
sun-bathing on a beach back home,
when all of a sudden that same
feeling or energy of that place
gently descends upon you out of
the blue, and you find yourself
drifting back into those recollections
and reliving them as if it had
happened just yesterday. Well,
beware! This is one of the lasting
side-effects of a vacation to
Luna Lodge of Costa Rica, a secluded
eco-lodge set in the pristine
and captivating Osa Peninsula
near Corcovado National Park in
southwestern Costa Rica. Whether
hiking with the possibility of
encountering rare wildlife, birdwatching,
practicing yoga, or enjoying a
therapuetic massage, Luna Lodge
is truly a unique experience not
found elsewhere in Costa Rica
or the world!
Hotel
Imagine this...
You are gazing across a deep river
gorge just in time to catch the
first rays of sunlight crowning
the canopy of the primary rainforest
across the valley with a hue of
gold, your senses being teased
gently to life as you sip on fresh
pineapple juice on the deck of
a huge rancho. As the mists below
begin to part to offer you a glimpse
of the blue Pacific in the near
distance, you hear the rhythms
of the rainforest, an orchestra
led by the wild brazen troop of
howler monkeys only a few hundred
yards away. Although you are beginning
to rouse yourself a bit in preparation
for the active day ahead, the
sloth in the grand mayo tree off
to your left hasn't moved a muscle.
Typical. It makes you think of
some people you know
This is a reality on the 60 acres
of tropical wilderness that is
Luna Lodge, Lana Wedmore's personal
dream come true. Over 30 acres
of the lodge's property is primary
virgin rainforest. You can spot
literally hundreds of rare and
beautiful bird species such as
the scarlet macaw, red-legged
honeycreeper, and slaty-tailed
trogon. You will also likely encounter
exotic creatures, such as coatis,
tayras, and the four species of
monkeys found in Costa Rica. There
are five year-round waterfalls
on the property itself, one with
a swift flowing chute and refreshing
wading pool less than a ten minute
walk from the bungalows. Just
a few minutes further down the
river valley, among a riverbed
full of brilliant white boulders,
a much higher set of falls thunders
down from over 40 feet; you can
stand under the spray and look
down at how nature is realigning
and reharmonizing the river's
elements.
Bungalows
Amid tropical
rainforest sits eight comfortable,
cool, spacious, thatched roof
bungalows.
Each bungalow
provides two double beds, a private
deck, and a private bathroom with
shower and bathtub. Select bungalows
overlook vast tropical rainforest,
and a honeymoon suite is also
available with a king size bed.
Local guides will educate you
about the wonders of the rainforest.

experience designed to raise your
awareness and to educate you about
the lowland tropical rainforest.

and natural settings in the rainforest.
The commitment to saving Mother
Earth is part of the mission statement
at Luna Lodge.
