Lapa Rios  is located east of Corcovado National Park, yet has its own 1000 acre private primary rainforest reserve. It was owner-operated from 1993 to 1999 and began as the first up-market eco-lodges in Costa Rica.  Since then the property has been operated by Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality (CSH) and has shown improvements in financial results. Lapa Rios has become a brand in its own right.  Following the Lapa Rios acquisition we envision gradual increases in capacity and standards to achieve the only five star product in the country’s south.  In so doing we shall attain higher yields without high density.  This limits capital investment and habitat disturbance.  

LAPA RIOS

Built nearly 25 years ago as the first eco-lodge in the Osa region, the property is well positioned to capture the attention of the New Traveller.  After the family built the lodge it acquired extensive primary rainforest land to its south — extending the holdings to over 2000 acres just to the west of Corcovado National Park.  Most importantly, they acquired the only property fronting outstanding beach-front land in the Osa. 

Marenco Lodge

Over-looking the beach-front property, permanent structures will be established.  The attraction of this property for real estate development deep in the Osa is that it is made up of the last primary rainforest and beaches, white water views and short boat trip to the Corcovado Nation Park.  Following the establishment of the Osa primary rainforest destination luxury tent operation near the beach below, it is our intent to follow up with permanent structures on the titled land on the bluff above.
