Our second home in the jungle. We’ll be back.
We had a small family reunion and Cala Lodge was amazing. This was our daughters’ first time in Monteverde. They were treated like family and felt the warm Pura Vida welcome at all times.
There were exotic birds everywhere. The room was quaint and comfortable, set right on the jungle. There were self-guided traiks through the jungle with information on the various flora and fauna, including the massive strangling fig trees and gorgeous Motmot birds. The food was fresh and authentic and we watched birds and monkeys come right up to the tables while we ate.
We plan to come back next year to this little haven in the jungle.
