Nestled in the rainforest on the banks of the Rio Tigre, not far from the
eastern boundary of Corcovado National Park, Bosque del Rio Tigre Lodge gives visitors the distinct sense of living in a tree
house.
Hummingbirds, woodpeckers, tanagers, motmots, kingfishers, and dozens of
other species keep birdwatchers grabbing their binoculars without even leaving the lodge.
The lodge is a labor of love, built and operated by American naturalist
Liz Jones and her Costa Rican husband Abraham Gallo, who lead tours, lend binoculars, and pamper guests with a level of service
that is rarely experienced in the most exclusive facilities.
The 31-acre private reserve connects with several other private reserves
and offers extensive hiking trails, creeks, lagoons, waterfalls, and abundant birds and wildlife.
Abraham Gallo is one of the best birding guides we have ever traveled with
and his life-long experience on the trails of the Osa make him an ideal companion for longer expeditions including the day-long
trek across the peninsula to Carate.
