Palenque, Sarapiqui Rainforest Lodge

Sarapiqui, Costa Rica.

 

The Sarapiquis Rainforest Lodge is a unique ecolodge built as a 15th century Pre-Columbian village amidst beautiful gardens and orchards. The lobby, restaurant, and accommodations are contained in buildings called palenques. A palenque is a circular edification with a roof in the shape of an inverted cone, all thatched with palm leaves. It is said that the circular shape of these edifications symbolizes the circle of life and the relationship between nature and mankind.

 

The restaurant and its romantic terrace reveal sweeping views of the Sarapiqui River and the Rainforest below and the inviting Botos Waterfall and Pool, only yards away.
