  • PUMA SIGHTING NEXT TO THE EL REMANSO LOBBY!! Puma hunting in the evening at El Remanso!

    Mon, 12/19/2011 - 12:13 — admin

    Yesterday evening, at 5 o'clock, Adriana spotted a frequent visitor to the El Remanso grounds: a female puma was chasing it's prey behind Casa Osa and the lobby towards the top of ridge! Although frequently photographed with the camera traps, puma sightings are always something special and to see one hunting is exceptional! Check our older posts on our blog to see the some pictures of pumas caught by our camera traps at El Remanso Lodge. The study conducted by Yaguara monitors the activity of wildcats on the Osa Peninsula and has been supported by the lodge since 2006.

  • Remanso reloaded! (part 1) How we remodeled our classic cabins to a new level!

    Wed, 11/23/2011 - 20:53 — admin

    At El Remanso we are glad to announce that we have recently completed a series of upgrades in our classic cabins and all of the rooms of Casa Poniente. Over the last months we have worked a lot to finalize the changes and we believe that you will like these accommodation options even more than before! Today we'll start to present the upgrades of our 3 classic cabins:, the original and initial units of El Remanso, built from beautiful hard-wood timber from certified fallen trees in the property of the lodge.

  • Summer is back!

    Sun, 11/20/2011 - 21:32 — admin

    After some rainy days in the Osa, the sun is back and we hope this is the first sign of our "summer" or dry season! To celebrate we had 2 couples of Scarlet Macaws visit us next to the swimming pool the whole afternoon: It was feeding time on the beach almond trees! A great opportunity for everyone to take some nice shots!

  • Patience, patience, patience

    Tue, 11/15/2011 - 21:14 — admin

    Early morning and you hear the "zum-zum sounds" around the tropical garden of El Remanso. The sound comes from the only group of birds that are able to fly backwards...we are talking about hummingbirds of course. We do not use any bird-feeders at the lodge but thanks to a big variety of native heliconias (also referred to as false birds-of-paradise or lobster-claws) in our garden, there are always hummingbirds flying next to the cabins.

  • The King spreads his wings over El Remanso!

    Mon, 09/05/2011 - 07:07 — admin

    It might seem like an oxymoron, but the truth is undeniable: The handsome king vulture deserves his royal name! While grey headed and turkey vultures are widespread throughout the Americas, the King Vulture depends on very healthy forests to survive. It’s quite a treat that at El Remanso they are frequently spotted soaring above the canopy, or perched on a branch to dry out their wings, as seen in this picture taken yesterday by Dani from the restaurant deck. One thing's for sure: no carcass will last long once the king picks up its scent!
