    According with its conservation philosophy, El Remanso Lodge has been developing projects in order to help preserving our rainforest, which is so rich down here in the Osa Peninsula. What can be better than a tree nursery?

  • Beach clean-up at El Remanso

    Tue, 06/26/2012 - 18:40 — admin

    On June 23rd, El Remanso's staff had the initiative of doing a Beach Clean-Up from the Tide Pools to the Lagoon! Where does the garbage come from? The beach below El Remanso is certainly an astonishing, beautiful & deserted beach, however even a remote place like this gets its share of pollution. Mostly plastic bottles brought by the tide land unfortunately on the beaches of this paradise of the Osa Peninsula. After a few hours work, and thanks to the volunteers, the beach of El Remanso is not only amazingly beautiful but super clean too!

  • Eyelash Pitviper encounter on the Ridge Trail

    Wed, 05/09/2012 - 08:17 — admin

    There are 6 different venomous snakes in the Osa Peninsula. One of which, the Eyelash Pitviper (bothriechis schlegelii) is a medium size, venomous snake with mostly arboreal habits, which makes this a far less frequently spotted snake than other ones. One of the most striking features of this pitviper is the presence of two, eyelash like pointed scales above each eye. This snake has several different dimorphism (a wide array of color variations): there is the green one (the most common) but they can also be brown, gray and the most spectacular one is golden!

    It's running time down here in the Osa Peninsula! This year's Lapathon fundraiser race took place yesterday, Sunday 5th of May, with the objective of raising funds for the recreational sport center in Puerto Jiménez. El Remanso participated in the organization and a good part of our team run the race! The race started at the local carbonera school, about 5km away from the lodge and ended in Puerto Jiménez. The runners had to cover a distance of 17km on the gravel road. Fortunately the weather was "good to everyone" and it did not rain at all during the race!
