Reserva Pacuare is an amazingly special place where we had the opportunity to meet wonderful people doing important research and conservation projects, and see so many species of wildlife. Encourage a visit to the reserve, meanwhile buy some swag to support their work!

This was a wonderful experience. Loved the nature, people & food. Very small group gives an extra dimension to the remote feeling. Great work is being done by the reserve!

we experienced an exceptionally connected stay with nature. an exceptional teaching on ecosystems and their importance. the equipment is comfortable and the cuisine excellent. thank you very much to the teams of the Pacuare reserve.

Very nice to see what the people do at the Reserve. We saw lots of different animals and we've received lots of information about the different species. We'll sure recommend it to other travelers!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience in Untamed Costa Rica Our trip to a Pacuare Reserve in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. Tucked away from the buzz of modern life, this wild, untouched land offered a rare opportunity to truly connect with nature. Accommodations and meals were all provided, and everything felt deeply rooted in the spirit of sustainability and respect for the environment. We dined on fresh, delicious meals that reflected the local culture and flavors, and the lodging was simple yet comfortable—perfectly suited to the natural surroundings. The reserve itself is a living, breathing paradise. We were constantly surrounded by wildlife—birds calling from the treetops, monkeys rustling in the branches, and butterflies drifting by in brilliant color. The true highlight, though, was our experience with the sea turtles. We witnessed the fragile wonder of newly hatched turtles making their way to the ocean—an emotional, unforgettable moment. By night, we walked quietly along the beach, guided by knowledgeable research assistants, searching for nesting turtles. The sense of reverence and awe we felt is hard to put into words. This experience gave us a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica’s biodiversity. To be part of conservation in action—even just as observers—was incredibly powerful. If you’re looking for beauty, adventure, serenity, and meaningful connection to the natural world, this is the place. We left changed, inspired, and already dreaming of returning.
