Rio Tico Safari Lodge

4.6(122 reviews)

About

Found on Costa Rica, Rio Tico Safari Lodge is a lodge rather than a hotel chain or hostel, so guests should expect a smaller, nature-oriented place to stay. The address in Provincia de Puntarenas, Osa, 60501, Costa Rica places it in the Osa region, within reach of San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde.

Reaching the lodge from the main resorts and towns on Costa Rica is possible by road, though the Osa region sits in the south of the country and ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, while small aircraft serve coastal destinations. The lodge is known for its safari-style setting, which suits travellers looking for wildlife and nature rather than city amenities. A rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 122 reviews indicates a strong level of satisfaction among past guests.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida, which visitors will hear often. A casado is a set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, a practical meal to try while travelling through the region.

Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military, a fact that shapes the country's stable and peaceful reputation. The Osa region's location in the south makes it a base for exploring the surrounding coastline and forest.
