I doubt that you can travel more sustainable than in Utopia Tica. The property is wonderfully located directly at the Rio Tigre, a much needed place to cool off after a long hike. François and Ancy are great hosts, very connected to the area and the local community. What also makes this lodge such a gem is it‘s walking distance to the authentic and not tourists driven village Dos Brazos, where you can have a beer, Internet and home made food at the newly designed community centre. Further down is also a great bar and grocery shop with terrace overlooking the river. We fell in love the entire area and it’s remoteness. We recommend to take a guided tour to Corcovado on Sendero El Tigre path, and thus support the local community in protecting the wild life.

You're right in the jungle. The region is quite and not many tourists come here. Francois gave us many nice tips and we booked a tour with a local through Corcovado and it was the highlight of our trip. In the evening we relaxed in the jungle bathtub. Francois has all kinds of plants planted at his facility. With our bathtub we watered the bananas. So it's all ecological. We saw many bird right in front of our cabin. All in all it was a unique experience and we enjoyed it.

Ökologisch nachhaltiges Konzept; Sehr freundlicher Besitzer; Umliegende Natur inklusive Fluss und naheliegenem Wasserfall.

Francois hat sich hier ein sehr schönes Zuhause und Hostel aufgebaut. Am Rande des Jungels und neben einem Flüsschen das bei grosser Hitze für Abkühlung sorgt, schläft man wunderbar in Betten, welche mit Moskitonetzen ausgestattet sind. Internet hat man wenig. Aber das braucht man auch nicht. In diesem Hostel kriegt man nämlich eine echte Verbindung. Danke für die guten Gespräche und die Kambucha-pilze!

Es war ein tolles und einzigartiges Erlebnis, Danke auch für die tolle Gastfreundschaft. Sehr zuvorkommend und Hilfsbereit! Die Lage ist wirklich toll (mit öffentlichem Verkehr vermutlich schwierig zu erreichen), optimale Ausgangslage für Touren im Corcovado oder Bolita. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet, jedoch nicht für eine große Anzahl Personen. Wifi und Telefon funktioniert meistens nicht (man ist ja schließlich auch im Dschungel) fand ich jedoch nicht schlimm. Die Toiletten sind gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber es hat alles was man braucht. Raus aus der Komfortzone, rein in den Dschungel!

Un accueil irréprochable, le lieu en pleine nature parfait pour déconnecter: le bout du monde😊l'aide précieuse de François qui nous a réservé un guide génial et passionné pour la visite du parc national Corcovado. Nous avons passés 2 soirées exceptionnelles avec François et sa compagne costaricienne qui nous ont fait voyager dans tout le Costa Rica de par leur vécu. Nous sommes enchantés de cette belle rencontre et de cet endroit au bord de la rivière El Tigre.

La proximité avec la nature, les conseils de François le propriétaire. Il faut absolument que vous passiez du temps dans le hamac le matin à attendre les Toucans et autres espèces d'oiseaux (colibris etc...). Allez vous baigner dans la piscine. Attention la nuit, vous êtes malgré tout dans un milieu naturel sauvage, si vous vous baladez vers la rivière possibilité de rencontrer des serpents. Pour aller les voir demandez à François il vous orientera vers tortuga le guide de l'hôtel, c'est le meilleur guide que j'ai eu au costa rica il est amoureux de son métier, ça se sent, et l'expérience est géniale avec lui, tours de nuit ou de jour. Possibilité de se promener ds rio tigre jusqu'à un bassin / canyon (el salto), et aussi de marcher vers Bolita d'où rayonne une multitude de sentiers avec vues incroyables et petites cascades / entrée payante 10$

The wildlife and living in the jungle... Unique experience
