Overlooking the Turrialba Valley, with the magnificent Turrialba Volcano in the background, you will find Guayabo Lodge. This beautiful, light and airy lodge is located 1500 meters above sea level in a lush cloud forest environment. To reach the lodge, which is surrounded by the pastures of a dairy farm, you drive down a pristine private lane. The Lodge is a 2 hour drive from the San Jose Airport, and is ½ hour from the bustling town of Turrialba.
The gracious hospitality will make you feel like you are visiting friends. This, together with the personal touch in and around the lodge, turn it into a special place, as one of our clients wrote: “an enchanted place…a place of joy for every visitor”.

Rooms:
All 20 rooms have a local flavor, each furnished with unique Central and South American art and exquisite antique furniture. Each room has a modern bath with abundant hot water generated by solar panels, and the rooms on the second and third floors have balconies with panoramic views.

Features: Bird Watching

Food & Beverages: The cuisine at the Lodge is extraordinary, prepared only with the freshest locally-produced fruits, vegetables and cheese. Each morning juices are squeezed from a variety of fresh fruits and bread is purchased from the local panaderia. World-renowned Costa Rican coffee is served. A memorable “muy rico” completely homemade dinner will be prepared for you if you desire, or you may drive to one of many nearby quaint restaurants serving savory local dishes.

Location: Turrialba

How to get there: If you are coming from San Jose take the Panamerican Highway # 2 south. After passing a toll booth and the exit to Tres Rios keep driving up the hill (Ochomogo) and once you are descending get off the highway straight ahead (do not continue right to Cartago downtown via highway). Continue straight ahead to Taras. After a couple of meters you will find the road and sign to the left to Irazu volcano. Turn left and take this road straight ahead and follow the signs to Irazu Volcano. On the way you will see the sign to Pacayas, (that detour has a white statue of Jesus) If you take that road to Pacay
