Ecolodge San Luis & Research Station
Formerly a tropical-biology research station, this facility now integrates research with ecotourism and education, and is administrated by the University of Georgia. The 70-hectare site is on the Río San Luis and adjoins the southern part of the Monteverde reserve. Its average elevation of 1100m makes it a tad lower and warmer than Monteverde, and bird-watchers have recorded some 230 species attracted by the slightly nicer weather. There are also a number of trails into primary and secondary forest, and there’s a working farm with tropical fruit orchards and a coffee harvest from November to March.
A variety of comfortable accommodations at the lodge are available for…
