Many of the accommodations along the northern part of the peninsula are lovely but isol-
ated - great for honeymooners who want to get away, not too exciting for others. Back-
packers tend to move past all the following and head to Puerto Jiménez.
Danta Corcovado Lodge
LODGE
( 2735-1111;
www.dantalodge.com
;
r/bungalow incl breakfast US$108/137; )
Conveniently located midway between the Los Patos ranger station and La Palma, this
low-key lodge is an ideal stopover for those starting or ending a Corcovado through-hike
at Los Patos. Each of its delightful room and bungalow designs are dreamed up by the
staff, ranging from comfortable wood cabins to a funky concrete dome - with open-air
bathrooms and hot water. Winding through this family-run property are 4km of trails, and
the lodge offers tours and activities, including day trips to Corcovado. Reserve as far in ad-
vance as possible, as this lovely spot fills up fast.
Suital Lodge
LODGE
( 8826-0342;

;
s/d US$55/71)
Lots of love has gone into the construction of this tiny clutch of
cabinas
on the northern
shores of Golfo Dulce. It's situated 15km northeast of Rincón on 30 hectares of hilly, for-
ested property (not a single tree has been felled), and guests can take advantage of a net-
work of trails that winds through the property and down to the beach.
Bosque del Río Tigre
ECOLODGE
( 8705-3729;
www.osaadventures.com
;
Dos Brazos; s/d US$190/324, 4-day package per person
from US$538; )
On the edge of the Reserva Forestal Golfo Dulce, in the midst of a 13-hectare private re-
serve, this off-the-beaten-track ecolodge is a bird-watcher's paradise, and a place that's
fancy without being pretentious. Four well-appointed guest rooms and one private, open-
air cabin have huge windows for viewing birds. Find directions and intermittent closed
periods on its website; email reservations preferred.
