Refugio Bartola

Set at the confluence of Ríos San Juan and Bartola, opposite the ranger post, this rustic wooden lodge and private reserve is the superlative option in the region for true nature lovers. Accommodations are in simple, breezy wooden rooms with high ceilings set around a lovely garden overlooking the river where agoutis rummage around oblivious to your presence.

The large tract of virgin forest is identical to the vegetation inside the reserve and the animals don't know the location of the boundaries; the only difference is here you are free to walk deep into the jungle along a network of trails. Kayaks are also available to explore the Río Bartola at your own pace.
