About the Location

We will be staying at the gorgeous Iguana Lodge, a tropical beachfront eco-resort in the remote jungles of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. The Osa Peninsula is described by National Geographic as "one of the most biologically intense places on earth." The peninsula offers the best of both worlds - lush tropical rainforest and beautiful wide beaches.

The lodge boasts a lap pool, jacuzzi, spa, two gourmet restaurants, a bar, and a friendly, attentive staff. Enjoy complimentary boogie boards and stand up paddleboards in the warm Pacific Ocean, take out a complimentary kayak to explore the nearby reef, or head up the Platanares River and explore a gorgeous mangrove estuary.

There are some great surf spots for all levels on the Osa, including the Matapalo area and Pavones (2nd largest left hand wave in the world). Guided jungle hikes, horseback riding, zip lining, tree climbing and waterfall rappelling, bird and monkey watching with the Iguana Lodge in house naturalist, are just some of the many adventures the area has to offer.
