Welcome to the Iguana Lodge...deep in the Osa Peninsula rainforest, planted on A MAGNIFICENT beach, there lives a world that once was all there was...the surf rolls in...the moon rises...the fiery-billed aracaris sing and the howler monkeys call...and on the veranda you begin your quest FOR TRUE ADVENTURE WHILE refining the vanishing but cherished art of relaxation.

The Osa Peninsula is one of the most biologically intense places on our planet. It is the "Last Great Peninsula", truly untouched by the ravages of civilization. Here you will find the ancient rainforest with over 350 species of birds, 115 species of reptiles, 750 species of trees and 10,000 species of insects... along with the truly magnificent Corcovado National Park.

In the midst of this spectacular setting, a secluded and exotic jungle-beach ecolodge awaits you. Only steps from the beach, the private two story bungalows are set on pillars and are built with indigenous hardwoods and local materials. The upstairs is the master bedroom with two beds and an outer deck overlooking the magnificent Golfo Dulce.

The screened-in upper level has wooden louvers to control ventilation and provide protection from the rain. On the ground level, there is a private bath with beautifully tiled showers. The lower level also has two additional beds to accommodate extra guests. Solar power provides energy for fans and lights.

Each of the rustically luxurious two-story bungalows have beautiful bedrooms, with large orthopedic beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, soft pillows, good reading lights, and hefty fans. Each bungalow, of course, has a lovely hot-shower private bath, and some have semi-outdoor garden showers.

Perhaps best of all, is your own huge private, shaded deck; you can sprawl peacefully in a swaying hammock or read a good book in a plush lounge chair as you overlook the magnificent Golfo Dulce and the lovely and fragrant tropical gardens of the Iguana Lodge

At the Iguana Lodge the food is legendary...

	Offshore big game fishing is a specialty with sailfish being the most predominant species under a strict practice of catch and release. Bring your camera and lots of film.The best time for offshore fishing is during the summer (high season) which starts in December and lasts through May. Calm seas and short runs to the fishing grounds are typical during this time of year. The regular catch normally features several sails a day along with Dorado, Tuna, Blue Runner, Wahoo, Skipjack and Bonito. May the rains begin, usually in the afternoons, and this is when the bigger schools of Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado move in along with the giant Black and Blue Marlin! Sailfish are still around but not in quantity. The weather is reasonably calm until September with some rain and very light winds. ** Please inquire about the fishing packages.
