PACUARE LODGE

Thrill-seekers will love the canyoning trip or zip-lining through the forest canopy, while nature lovers will enjoy nature hikes, bird watching and splashing in cascading waterfalls. Spa treatment rooms are tucked deep into the forest; an extensive list of treatments combines ancient healing techniques with natural ingredients. All meals are served in the main lodge or on the deck. In true farm-to-table style, most of the produce comes from Pacuare's organic farm. Breakfast includes a selection of eggs, pancakes, cereals, tropical fruit and gallo pinto. Lunch tends to feature pasta and a variety of colourful salads. In the evening, enjoy a three-course candlelit dinner showcasing traditional rice and bean platters, as well as a choice of prime cuts and fresh fish. For an excellent breakfast or lunch, zip line down to the 'The Nest' and dine in the company of twittering birds and stunning blue morpho butterflies.
