The lodge was set up by the local Artavia family, who decided to return their land (first used for animal husbandry) to nature in order to provide the next generation with a sustainable income. Your guide, also a member of the family, will introduce you to everything that grows and blooms around the hotel and you also contribute yourself by planting a tree.

Activities that are certainly recommended are a kayak tour in the mangroves, but also relaxing at the beautiful beach of Playa Avellanas!

We really enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica! Everything was well organized, from transfers to car rental, accommodations etc.
We had a fantastic holiday and think that Costa Rica is a beautiful country with friendly people and easy to travel around. The 2-week ‘off-the-beaten-track’ itinerary was perfect to avoid the crowds in Costa Rica because some places can be fairly full. Our stay in Manzanillo was really a highlight, we loved our wooden jungle house!
Thank you very much, we will definitely recommend Edventure to anyone who wants to spend his / her vacation in Costa Rica. (2018)
Some of the most beautiful places Costa Rica were for us:
Barra Pacuare, a beautiful location. Very friendly staff and super nice guides.
Manzanillo: Beautiful location and very nice people. Beautiful house.
Sarapiqui: Great location. Only 1 night. Visited Frogs Heaven as recommended by you, great tour!
Boca Tapada: Beautiful lodge and bungalow. Nice tours and good guides (2018)
We look back on a very nice trip!
We really enjoyed our stay in Junquillal. Super hotel and great hosts! Very convenient to be so close to a beautiful beach. (2018)
During our stay in Sarapiqui we went a horseback riding in the morning. We explored the beautiful rainforest (spotted white face monkeys) and we even had to cross a river twice.
Afterwards, in the afternoon, we visited an organic pineapple plantation, Finca Sura. Certainly one of the nicest places in Costa Rica. Our young guide was very enthusiastic and we learned a lot. Also for our young daughter this was a great experience. (2018)
In the village of Manzanillo we stayed in a beautiful house in the jungle and we think that this is certainly one of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica.
It is a former cocoa plantation transformed by the Dutch owner Daan into a tropical paradise with 7 handbuilt, wooden houses, fully furnished and fully equipped kitchens. Early in the morning you are woken up by howler monkeys and for us, that was a great start of the day! (2016)
In Sarapiqui we stayed at another beautiful lodge and booked the chocolate tour. Very nice and interesting! (2017)
The rancho in El Castillo is a beautiful location with friendly people. The way they deal with sustainability has made a big impression on us. Also because they try to include their guests as much as they can in what they do during the tour. We met quite some volunteers and they definitely give the place a good “vibe”. (2017)
Our arrival in Boca Tapada was very welcoming. Very beautiful houses, lots of nature, a true paradise. We explored the jungle around our lodge and also booked a guided tour with a great guide. The food served was amazing and we were so impressed by all the animals you can spot while having breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Our accommodation in Junquillal turned out to be a great location and we were very well taken care of by our friendly hosts. The Dutch owner is also a great cook!
If you wish to travel a bit longer, then it might be nice to extend your trip and visit Zapotal de Miramar. This little village is beautifully situated on top of a mountain. From here you’ll have a magnificent view of the Pacific ocean and the beaches and islands of Puntarenas.
In Zapotal only live some 200 people and agriculture is their main source of income. You can stay in simple cabins or opt for a homestay with one of the local families. A day tour is included in this pleasant and educational stay. Here, you will for sure avoid the crowds in Costa Rica!
