Tenorio Lodge

A Bijagua stay shaped by forest walks

Forest walks and the prospect of Rio Celeste’s turquoise waterfall give a stay at Tenorio Lodge a clear sense of direction. In Bijagua, the private-reserve setting brings the rainforest into time around your outings, with guided nature walks and birdwatching providing ways to notice more of the flora and fauna. You can give the national park a day of its own and still leave an afternoon for the quieter pleasures of the lodge.

Leave room for the reserve

Rustic rooms combine natural character with modern comforts, with rainforest or garden outlooks in some accommodation. A bungalow’s fan, coffee service, mini-fridge and sitting area make it a practical place to settle after a walk. Hammocks and seating areas invite you to open a book or listen to the surroundings rather than immediately set off again. The lodge’s environmental approach complements a stay spent exploring its own reserve as well as the national park.

Settle your meal plans before arrival

Breakfast brings fresh, locally sourced ingredients to the table, including fruit and vegetables, in a tranquil setting. Other meals require a little planning: lunch is unavailable until further notice, and neither lunch nor dinner is served in low season. The bar opens every day from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm, providing an afternoon or evening drink option. Arrange your other meals before arrival so the dining schedule works comfortably with your outings.

The entrance to Tenorio Volcano National Park is nearby, making Rio Celeste and its waterfall a natural focus for a day beyond the reserve. Staff can help arrange tours and activities in the surrounding area. Choose around the room outlook you want, and confirm the swimming-pool and Jacuzzi facilities if water-based relaxation is important to your stay. Then give the forest, hammocks and guided walks their own room in the itinerary, rather than treating Bijagua only as a brief stop at the waterfall.
