In reply to Franca. Thank you, Franca! Oh it was so amazing and we felt so privileged to stay in a place where the owners really cared for and respected the environment and wildlife. Costa Rica in general works very hard toward eco-friendly solutions and are definitely an excellent example for other countries. I have unfortunately met a lot of travellers staying at incredible eco-lodges (also often rural and generating power with solar panels) who were complaining about the lack of air-con. It's just about changes habits is all. Thanks for reading, as always :)

Great post! This place is fantastic Charlie. I really like what they do in order to respect the surrounding environment and more importantly trying not to destroy it and interfere too much with it. I wish everywhere people would give more importance to the environment but I guess in order to push local companies to focus more on eco-friendly solutions, it’s up to us as travellers to demand them more. Taking your example about air-conditioning, if we didn’t ask so desperately for it they probably wouldn’t implement it everywhere but try to use alternative and more natural solution that can still give enough ventilation and coolness. If the demand changes they’ll have no choice but adapt and everyone will benefit from it, the environment especially :)

Hey James, that’s awesome that you stayed there too. Definitely at the top of my list when it comes to incredible places to stay and glad to hear you felt the same. Yes, lots of red-eye tree frogs – and it hadn’t even rained while we were there. I’m actually really worried that after staying there, I’ll never find anywhere else nearly as good on my travels!! (I’m only half joking!)

The La Kukula Lodge is one of the most incredible places I’ve had the pleasure of staying at! There were red-eyed tree frogs singing right outside the door. Sloths in the trees. And 2 incredible wildlife parks within a few miles.. writing this is actually making wish I were still there!
