Touted to be “one of the best spots for bird-watching”; the lodge is home to several species of wilderness such as howler monkeys, dart frogs, pizotes, tayras and a large variety of birds. This charming and intimate hideaway is generally inhabited by families and small groups, and can accommodate up trato ten guests at a time.

Service, Accommodation and Pricing

Since Bosque Del Rio Tigre can accommodate only ten people at a time, their service is highly intimate, attentive, customized and homey. The low-key, small-scale character of this lodge makes it a refreshing change from many overtly pretentious, overpriced and self-proclaimed eco-resorts around the region. They offer quality food, comfortable accommodation, a posse of courteous staff and a clean ambiance.

A culmination of rustic appeal, convenience and luxury, the accommodation comprises a two-storied lodge (encircled by a lush tropical forest) that features 4 private corner rooms, shared baths, community lounging areas and dining spaces. The top story rooms feature expansive windows to facilitate effortless bird watching and better circulation of air. Bosque Del Rio Tigre also offers a miniature cabin with a private bath.

All rates include three meals, unlimited fresh juice, dinner wine and evening snacks.
