Property Description

If looking for an off-the-beaten path, serene, quiet, Costa Rican natural experience, we have what you are looking for. Situated on the Osa Peninsula, in a rainforest that National Geographic refers to as "one of the most biologically intense places on the planet", and where rainforest kisses the Pacific, we welcome you to Corcovado Jungle Hostel. Our Hostel is located just off a walking trail midway between the now bustling Drake Bay and the clear, cool waters of the Rio Claro.
Here, come relax and enjoy a break from the noise, dust, and hustle of other coastal beach towns.

I loved my stay here. The location is priceless! Directly between some of Costa Rica‘s most pristine beaches. I ended up staying in a tent and it was lovely to hear the waves at night and practice yoga on the little deck in the morning. The owner is a wonderful person and the rest of the staff is nice too. They really do their best to keep this place clean but of course that’s not easy in this location. I cooked my own food and I liked the kitchen. If you love nature, this is the place to go

Absolutely stunning location, you can't get much more of an authentic rainforest accommodation than this - you really feel like you're in the thick of it. Gabriel, Yesica and the rest of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful - they cook good food too! Great place to explore the area or even chill in the hammock and watch the world go by! It's my second time staying here and it won't be my last. I could easily have spent my whole trip here!
