Stay in a rustic-chic eco-lodge with a cosy fireplace, an outdoor shower and direct views of the forest from your own private deck. The resort is set in Bajos del Toro, in the cloud forest of the Central Highlands and makes use of local materials such as wood, bamboo and river stones. Indigenous ingredients and traditional techniques also feature strongly in the full-service spa and in the restaurant, Las Ventanas, where farm-to-table Costa Rican cuisine is made with fresh, organic ingredients sourced from the lodge’s own farm and the surrounding community. El Silencio Lodge & Spa is committed to sustainable tourism practices; using renewable energy, composting and supporting local conservation and community development projects.
