Marenco Beach & Rain Forest Lodge is a Costa Rica Hotel with a privately-owned nature reserve and lodge located in what is probably Costa Rica's A.greatest natural endowment, the rain forest and scenic coastal regions and beaches of the Osa Peninsula. Marenco's breathtaking, exotic coastal location provides unlimited opportunities for adventure, family recreation, nature study, research and yes...even some rest and relaxation, in one of the world's classic wilderness areas.
The perfect ingredients for your Costa Rica trip. Ecotourism, natural history travelers, researchers, student groups, birdwatchers, and beachcombers will all be delighted with the variety of environments and activities that Marenco offers. Marenco's romantic setting has also made it a favorite with honeymooners.
Marenco has a unique, non-traditional approach to conservation and tourism. We believe that business and conservation interests can, and must, work together toward the preservation and wise use of tropical areas. We also hope to bridge the gap between conservation and tourism; to help develop an awareness of the delicate balance and intricacy of natural systems. This is the reason why the scientific community is backing efforts of tourism to organize and conduct tours in which an appreciation of ecology and nature, as well as beautiful scenery and recreational activities are featured.
What makes Marenco Beach & Rain Forest Lodge truly special is its proximity to world renowned Corcovado National Park, one of the most important natural wilderness areas in all of the Neotropics. The unsurpassed biological diversity of Corcovado and its great visual beauty have made the park a Mecca for bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts and tropical biologists.
Our coastal location facilitates easy travel to such extraordinary places as Isla del Caño, a coral reef-fringed, forested biological reserve just eleven miles west of Marenco, and to the largest and most beautiful stand of mangroves, those of the delta region of the Sierpe and Terraba Rivers. Our 1500-acre private nature reserve, and 5 kilometers of solitary tropical beaches, just north of Corcovado makes adventure, on-site study and exploration easy and pleasurable.
