In reply to Patascha's World. Such a coincidence that we stayed in the same place! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it too. Unfortunately we missed out on the night tour, I bet that was awesome.

This year on our Costa Rica roadtrip we slept three nights in the tipi eco lodge. NO wi-fi, no electricity and no hot water, in the middle of the jungle. A very interesting place for nature lovers. Mario took us to a night jungle tour….amazing!!! We learned from this stay to respect even more our nature at home to keep its beauty up alive… Greetings from Tascha & Patrick

In reply to Will Hatton. Awesome! Costa Rica is amazing. All of the eco-lodges I stayed at had their pros and cons, they were all super different, so it really depends what you're looking for. Also, eco-lodges are quite expensive places to stay here (mostly), so you'll need to do quite a lot of research about eco-lodges that would suit the style of your blog beforehand. Look for people who have a similar style to your own and that fit a similar niche, is my advice :)

Awesome article Charlie! I’m heading to Costa Rica myself soon, very excited! Planning on visiting a few eco-lodges, is there one in particular you would recommend hands down? I’m hoping to write a review for one in exchange for a free night’s accommodation – was reading your other article the other day about scoring free digs when backpacking around the World.

In reply to Bente Vold Klausen. Great to hear about the eco-lodges in Africa! Did you have the opportunity to stay in many out there?

Thanks for a very interesting post. I have also been skeptical many times about the eco lodge expression. Can they really all be that eco friendly? We have stayed in some eco lodges in Africa and they were actually eco friendly.

I have never stayed in an eco lodge and always wondered what exactly it meant. I’ll look out for places like these on my travels.
Thanks for sharing!
