Welcome to Guayabo Lodge!
Overlooking the Turrialba Valley, with the magnificent Turrialba Volcano in the background, you will find Guayabo Lodge. This beautiful, light and airy lodge is located 1500 meters above sea level in a lush cloud forest environment. To reach the lodge, which is surrounded by the pastures of a dairy farm, you drive down a pristine private lane. The Lodge is a 2 hour drive from the San Jose Airport, and is ˝ hour from the bustling town of Turrialba.
The gracious hospitality will make you feel like you are visiting friends. This, together with the personal touch in and around the lodge, turn it into a special place, as one of our clients wrote: "an enchanted place…a place of joy for every visitor".
The cuisine at the Lodge is extraordinary, prepared only with the freshest locally-produced fruits, vegetables and cheese. Each morning juices are squeezed from a variety of fresh fruits and bread is purchased from the local panaderia. World-renowned Costa Rican coffee is served. A memorable "muy rico" completely homemade dinner will be prepared for you if you desire, or you may drive to one of many nearby quaint restaurants serving savory local dishes.
Considering our guarantee of international quality combined with Costa Rican culture, Guayabo Lodge is unrivalled. The Lodge is at 2 hours drive from the San Jose Airport, and is at half hour distance from the bustling town of Turrialba.
ABOUT US
As your hosts at Guayabo Lodge, both Pedro and myself want to share some of the beauty, warmth and unsophisticated way of living that this mystical region of Costa Rica has so generously shared with us.
Pedro is from Uruguay and I am Dutch. We come from different backgrounds (Pedro is a statistician and I am a cultural anthropologist). By pure chance we were working at the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) in Turrialba, where we met.
At CATIE, our love and appreciation for nature has only increased and ruled our lives to the point that after working at the Centre for many years, we decided to settle down right here and to build the Guayabo Lodge in Santa Cruz, on the slopes of the Turrialba Volcano.
So here we are, and this is our Lodge at your service!
Rossana.
Rossana and Pedro Ferreira
