Avatar Eco Lodge — Puerto Jimenez
/We stayed one week in January 2019 ($107 per night including taxes and three organic, mostly vegetarian meals per day). The lodge opened in November 2018 and ours was a special introductory price. We anticipate future rates for the same offering will be 2 1/2 to 3 times higher than the price we paid.
We recommend a two or three night stay to enjoy the lodge and one or two of these tour offerings to:
Dolphin watching and snorkeling — 3-4 hours $380 per boat (max 6 people)
Jungle zip line — 3-4 hours $80 pp (per person)
Corcovado National Park — 1 day $90 pp
Matapalo Park and Piro jungle — 7 hours $85 pp
Chocolate tour — 3 hours $40 pp
Surfing pan dulce beach — 1/2 day $70 pp
Kayaking — 3 hours $60 pp
Fishing — 1/2 day $500 boat or full day $900 boat
ATV — 1 day $70
Boruca tribe shaman ceremony — 1 day $200 pp (max 6)
Transportation is offered from the property as follows (max 4 people one way)
To Corcovado — $90
Puerto Jimenez — $30
Preciosa — $40
Matapalo — $50
We are accustomed to walking a couple miles at both sunrise and sunset. Because of this properties’ location atop a steep hill we took the week off from walking except for a lovely hike (#4 above) to Matapalo and Piro.
