Rara Avis Travel Info

A golden orb spider weaves its super-strong silk at Rara Avis

Rara Avis was Costa Rica's first bona fide ecolodge and as such could be held responsible for giving birth to the country's lucrative ecotourism industry. 

Set on the edge of the massive Braulio Carrillo National Park, this 1500-acre rainforest reserve and nature lodge lies on a northeast-facing mountainside and receives the cooling tradewinds of the Atlantic Coast.
