Bolita Trails and Lodging

Great jungle experience, outdoor living in full jungle

Showers didn’t close well but not a big deal

Amazing place in the jungle. Loved and enjoyed every second! Saw spider monkeys and a toucan and the waterfalls and hikes are fun! Could even take a dip in one.

Amazing location, truly unique experience (although I would still recommend doing a corcovado tour - the hikes are great - but of course you do not see as much as on a specific tour). However, you cannot be afraid of Spiders/Snakes/Insects or other Animals

We stayed for over a week and saw an incredible amount of wildlife. Every day we saw something different and amazing whether it was monkeys, a sloth, invertebrates, birds (including toucans, swallow tailed kites, hummingbirds, trogons, woodpeckers, parrots, puffbirds, cuckoos), snakes, frogs. Ron, Val and the team do a really great job of maintaining the hostel and the trails. For such a remote location right in the middle of the rainforest the hostel is extremely well equipped including the kitchen, it looks picturesque, and is comfortable. I highly recommend staying here if you want to be truly immersed in nature and see a lot of wildlife.

The surrounding forest with great (well marked) hiking trails into the jungle. There are rubber boots up to european size 44, which may be too small. We almost stumbled upon a dangerous snake and highly advise the use of rubber boots.

No hardened boxes that could protect food from wild animals such as giant rats. One needs to bring something to hang stuff up. The double bed could be a bit longer so that my feet fit in.

The location in the middle of the forest was amazing. The view from everywhere (room, bathroom, toilets, kitchen, living room) was just perfect. The room was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Access to the trails. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

The trail up with bags felt longer than 1.5 km, especially with the river crossing, so don't be late for the 5pm latest check-in!

This is the place where you can immerse yourself in the Osa Peninsula rainforest, walk trails at the border of Corcovado NP, in a primary forest. It is well organized, with very friendly, helpful, reliable people running the place. They provide drinking water, gas stove, charging, internet, showers; you bring your own food and walk a short trail with you backpack and cross a river; you should be moderately physically fit and accustomed to backpacker travel. The experience you will get is unmatched, it is not a crowded area, you see real wilderness, animals and birds included (however, remember - it is not a zoo). Strongly recommended.
