Our Adventure Center is an eco-adventure lodge nestled deep in the upland tropical rainforest of the Rio Sevegre Valley. Certified by the Costa Rica Tourism Board (ICT), our 600 acre facility is surrounded by five national parks and offers rustic and comfortable accommodations, local fresh cuisine, along with a vast amount of bio-diversity, varying habitats, and a wealth of outdoor activities all in close proximity to one another.

Amongst the natural beauty of the surrounding rainforest, enjoy sounds of the jungle, the roar of the Sevegre River and our many magnificent waterfalls. Experience our medicinal plant gardens and participate in traditional ceremonies with a Cabecar Tribe Shaman. Climb massive rainforest trees, zip-line through the canopy and over amazing white water rapids. Cool of in nearby caves, the river, or by rappelling 60-foot waterfalls. Use traditional methods to make tortillas, and chocolate with cacao seeds foraged from the rainforest.

While staying at our Adventure Center, experience the "Real Costa Rica" and live the Tico lifestyle. Enjoy amazing fresh cuisine, prepare traditional meals and participate in day-to-day activities with the Fonsecas. While your Spanish is sure to improve, you will inevitably begin to appreciate and embrace the Costa Rican culture.

Alvino Fonseca (Mauricio's Father) is a Cabecar Shaman with an extensive knowledge of local medicinal plants. Using age old traditional methods to treat and heal, along with his large collection of rare medicinal plants, Alvino is often called upon by residents through out this rural region of Costa Rica.

For over 25 years, the Fonseca Family and our Adventure Center has served not only school groups and travel programs, but private individuals, families and corporate groups too. Our local ties provide our staff with an intimate knowledge of the area ensuring our participants a genuine, remarkable and safe experience.
