Our Story

         La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge exemplifies the resilience of the tropical rainforest. In 1993, when we started, the site was a cattle farm, cleared of most of its trees and natural vegetation. Careful planning and giving nature a chance has resulted in a remarkable recovery.

          The Lodge has established wild gardens as a habitat to attract butterflies, frogs, small mammals and lots of birds. Practically anything will grow in this environment, in fact ten percent of the earth's bio-diversity is present in Costa Rica and the lowland humid rainforest of Sarapiqui provides limitless opportunities for the eco-tourist.

           La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge is a family owned and operated business. Beatriz and Leo have lived on the premises since starting La Quinta, where their children, Andrés, Beatrice, and Camila were born and raised. Andrés, an agricultural engineer, began working full time in La Quinta in 2017 where he is now developing a production farm (read more about it in our "El Patio" tab). As part of the family, Beatrice and Camila will also host visitors.
