It is a lush nature haven made up of Heliconia Gardens, quaint, countryside style ponds and native trees.

Unassuming, yet snug, clean and aesthetically decorated-Tenorio Lodge merges the best of an authentic Costa Rica nature experience with responsible eco tourism practices and resourceful conservation initiatives.
