Where is Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge?
Half the adventure of visiting Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is getting there. The lodge is only accessible by boat on the gulf of Golfo Dulce. To get there, you either fly or drive to the gulf towns of Puerto Jimenez or Golfito, and then cross the gulf in one of the lodge’s boats.
When to Go?
Mid-December to early May is Costa Rica’s dry season along the Pacific Coast. Even when Costa Rica’s rainy season starts in the second half of May, most days are hot and sunny with rain showers in the late afternoon or at night. March to July are the hottest months. August and September are the rainiest. The lodge closes from Oct. 1 to Nov. 15 every year for maintenance.
