Our Eco Lodge is located in the rainforest jungle of Esquipulas, which is about 25 minutes from Quepos and 35 minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park. This project began 10 years ago when we bought this riverfront property which was a dream come true. Over the years we have camped on the hillside with our kids and friends and about 4 years ago began building trails, platforms, tents, and eventually the Rancho area in 2020 with the elevated yoga deck. At the moment we have 2 glamping tents and are building 2 more. The land is forested with many native fruit trees and ornamental plants and has incredible sounds and views of the Naranjo River below. We are beginning to rent and advertise on different platforms/sites and have had some luck so far beginning our business. We are interested in hosting retreats for yoga and reiki and other healing arts and also just to share our dream with other nature lovers.
We are looking for folks who are comfortable living in a remote but safe area and having a unique experience to connect to the small local community, help with the project and experience nature in this beautiful place.
Very important note: There is no wifi or cell service out here through local mobile networks.
