Lapa Rios works closely with its nearby community to provide basic and environmental education. Over 95% of the staff are from the remote Osa Peninsula and receive training at the lodge. The lodge supports numerous local vendors, tour companies and drivers, and promotes community awareness to environmental conservation, best practices and products. Guests and community groups learn the value of conservation during rain forest hikes along with training for responsible practices for better land stewardship. The 1000-acre private Lapa Rios Reserve protects tropical bio-diversity and acts as a buffer to the nearby Corcovado National Park.

About Hotel Punta Islita

Hotel Punta Islita opened its doors in 1994 evolving from a traditional Costa Rican cattle & timber hacienda to a world-class boutique destination that has remained true to the rich customs and traditions of the Guanacaste Province.

The most unique aspect of Hotel Punta Islita’s Social Responsibility Model is its organic nature. Since the Hotel’s inception, its commercial viability was conceived as intrinsic to the economic and social success of local people. The most innovative feature is the visionary emphasis placed on the cultivation of creativity through community art programs. Self-expression has been the most effective self-validating catalyst to foster a heightened sense of possibility and hope.

About Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn

“Imagine if Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright had combined their talents and visions. The result would be an architectural stunner as eclectic and electrifying as Finca Rosa Blanca. This is one of Costa Rica’s, nay – the world’s!, preeminent boutique hotels, opened in 1989. Inspired by Gaudi’s architectonics and the Santa Fe style, the hotel is conceived as if from a fairy tale.”

Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn is situated above the beautiful Central Valley of Costa Rica. Surrounded by towering “Higuerón” trees and exotic flora, the Inn offers spectacular views of volcanoes, cloud forests and coffee plantations. Here at 4000 feet above sea level on a temperate plateau of extraordinary beauty, is grown some of the world’s best coffee in the lush volcanic soil. Nestled in 10 acres amid hundreds of fruit trees and dramatic tropical flora is the enchanted Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn, a jewel crowning a picturesque knoll.
