Saladero Lodge is nestled between the luxuriant green mountains of the Piedras Blancas National Park and the turquoise waters of Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce. Imagine starting each day with the calm waters of the Golfo Dulce as your view and the calls of howler monkeys and toucans as your soundtrack. Spend your days kayaking in the mangrove forest, snorkeling at a local coral reef or exploring the wondrous jungle by foot or horseback. End each day watching the spectacular crimson sunset over the Osa Peninsula accompanied by a chorus of tree frogs singing in the forest. This is a world so beautiful it must be seen to be believed. Saladero Lodge is rated as one of the best of Costa Rican rainforest specialty lodges.
