Trogon Lodge

Two hours south-east from San Jose, close to the astounding Los Quetzal National Park, an area containing 14 ecosystems and three rainforests.

Ensuite rooms have wooden cladding walls creating a rustic feel. Open your curtains each morning to scintillating views of the forest or Savegre river. All accommodation is fitted with a heating unit, the perfect way to remain cosy on cooler evenings. Superior rooms contain a private Jacuzzi, adding a further dose of luxury to your stay.

The "El Quetzal' restaurant serves delightful a la carte meals with a homemade feel. A trout pond in front of the restaurant gives you the chance to catch your dinner and have the chef prepare it. Spend lazy afternoons on the balcony overlooking the gardens observing various species of orchids or plants like bromeliads bursting with colour.

Take a guided tour to search for the famous Resplendent Quetzal bird, take a horseback ride deep into the forest or zip line across the Seagre River on a canopy tour. Gaze around Los Quetzales National Park, where you’ll spot hummingbirds and goldfinches.
