Location

Copa de Arbol has a beach side location set among 30 hectares of luxuriant rainforest between Drake Bay and Corcovado National Park. As this part of the Osa Peninsula is only accessible by boat, Copa de Arbol can justifiably claim to provide its guests with a remote and adventurous location for their Costa Rican experience.

Accommodation

For those who are averse to large-scale tourism, you will be pleased to know that Copa de Arbol only has 10 cabins, all tastefully nestled and secluded in the flourishing vegetation. With thatched roofs, recycled materials and sometimes the occasional quirky external colour scheme, each cabin has the feeling of being authentically Costa Rican. All have verandas or terraces and are positioned to make the most of coastal or forest views. We love the cabin that is accessed across a footbridge.
The communal pool is an impressive 4-tiered structure, with cascading water providing a restful soundtrack to complement the symphony of the surrounding forest and ocean waves. To lounge by the pool is also to be treated to a view of the beautiful bay, which you have exclusive access to as a guest of Copa del Arbol. Swim in the pristine waters and will encounter beautiful tropical fish, along with the occasional dolphin and sea turtle.

Occupying the highest ground and with consequent superb views and a refreshing breeze are the lodge’s excellent restaurant and bar. Here you will be served dishes composed of the freshest and most local of ingredients. This is a place of the very finest forest and coastal cuisine.

Experiences

  • Make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities provided at the lodge’s beach. You can help yourself to a paddleboard, a kayak or snorkelling equipment.
  • Take a ranger-led bird watching walk to spot the dazzling Quetzal. With more than 900 bird species native to Costa Rica, including toucans and macaws, there will always be something fascinating to see.
  • The area abounds with wonderful hiking trails through lush rainforests, along inky black streams, amongst dripping ferns, and reaching thundering waterfalls.
  • Take a boat trip out into Drake Bay, where many humpback whales come to calve. You will also probably see dolphins and white-tipped sharks. Back on the mainland, Drake Bay is believed to be the likely location of buried pirate treasure.
  • Visit the Corcovado National Park, believed to be the place where more than 50% of Costa Rica’s animals live. Visitor numbers are limited to just 50 per day.
