Deluxe Picnic
What better way to end your stay at Casa Corcovado than a relaxing day at the
beach. With all of the activities and tours very few guests have the chance to take full
advantage of our beautiful pristine beach. This a unique opportunity to enjoy a
half-kilometer-long sand beach where you can be completely alone, something that is very
rare in today’s world.
It’s a perfect place for beachcombing, to explore the bat cave or to take a shower in
one of the waterfalls. Take a walk on the nature trail behind the beach to witness the
orchids growing on rock walls that drip water that sparkles in the sun. Experience the
natural surroundings but let us spoil you a little. Lunch will be served in your own
screened “Cabaña” where your waiter will spread out the table cloth and set out
a delicious meal accompanied by a chilled bottle of French wine. A day with the perfect
blend of nature and style ….. "A La Casa Corcovado"
Tropical Sand Beach
Enjoy beach-combing on our half-kilometer-long pristine beach then refresh
yourself under a waterfall or bathe in a shaded pool. Feel free to ask for a ride down to
the beach and to arrange for a pick-up time with our ¨Jungle Taxi¨ or call using the
radio, which is at the boathouse.
Mini Bar
Due to the fact that we produce our own energy so as not to burn fossil fuels
your ¨Dry Mini Bar¨ is not refrigerated. A price list to record your consumption is
found in each Bungalow.
¨La Hacienda¨
Our colonial style reception center is located in the town of Sierpe beside the
wide, winding river of the same name. Here you will have a chance to change shoes and
clothes, use a washroom and have something cold to drink. There is also a gift shop where
you can buy any last minute items you may need.
After your captain has the luggage packed aboard your boat, you can embark on a one and a
half hour ride down the Sierpe River, winding your way through the largest mangrove
wetlands system on the Pacific Coast of Central America. You then follow the coast until
arriving at Casa Corcovado. Refreshments will be served during the trip and lunch and a
complimentary cocktail will be ready to welcome you to the Jungle.
