Conde Naste Traveler The monkeys hooted and shook branches, half a mile later, we reached a small waterfall, where we waded into the cool, clear pool. We were two pleased eco-tourists.
The New York Times Bosque del Cabo sits in a privileged location 500 forested feet above the Pacific. There are four kinds of monkeys in this part of the rainforest- squirrel, spider, white-faced capuchin, and howler- and we saw them all.
Healing Retreats and Spas, Deborah Davis The trail was magical Huge fig trees laden with bromeliads and other epiphytes had roots dangling down thirty feet to the forest floor like Tarzan's vines...Monkeys leaped from branch to branch, often with babies clinging to their backs.
The Rough Guide to Costa Rica, Jean McNair Very secluded, comfortable bungalows with stupendous views out to the Pacific. Waterfall and swimming hole nearby, and a good restaurant.
Frommer's Costa Rica This simple yet tasteful lodge is located 500 feet above the water at this southern tip of the Osa Peninsula. This lodge is surrounded by 300 acres of land the owner purchased in order to preserve a piece of this rainforest.
The Tico Times, Eliot Greenspan Bosque del Cabo Wilderness Lodge is the kind of place where it's real easy to lose track of time and most of the other mundane matters that tie one to the daily grind...this remote lodge strikes a perfect balance of rusticity and luxury.
The New Key to Costa Rica, Blake-Becher Bosque del Cabo has a spectacular view of the ocean. It is very small, which gives it an intimate, private feel. Scarlet macaws visit the grounds frequently. Bungalows are spacious, with porches and unique outdoor showers. The restaurant serves good international food.
Costa Rica: Adventures in Nature, Ree Strange Sheck If you like nighttime by candle light, scarlet macaws flying over your head, a private outdoor shower with water heated only by the sun on the pipes, and the sound of the sea as you drop off to sleep, then Bosque del Cabo is for you. This small wilderness lodge has perhaps just the right amount of comfort and adventure.
Lonely Planet Costa Rica Birdwatching is excellent and hikes can be taken through the forest, to the ocean, to nearby rivers and to a waterfall. Large flocks of scarlet macaws are commonly seen.
