Pachamama Jungle River Lodge - Punta Uva

This is a gorgeous location. We stayed in the orange bungalow next to the river. Even though the property is close to the road, it offered us some peace and quiet. The unit is beautiful, well appointed. It’s 10 min walk to a gorgeous beach, and a few times we kayaked there with their free kayaks. Punta Uva is one of our favorite locations. Lots of sloths, monkeys, toucans. A 10 min ride on a tuk tuk to manzanillo or puerto veijo. Carlos is on site and extremely helpful. High recommend!

This lodge is on the coast road from Manzanilla (good jungle walk ) and Puerto Viejo (bit busy for us). Near the lovely Punta Uva beach. Everything is off this road and it is very easy to get around this flat road on cheap bike rentals. The road is however quite busy and none of the bikes have lights making night time cycling uncomfortable. This matters for those without a car as there are not many restaurants within walking distance. Although there is the excellent Selvins. There is a small shop just up the road. Punta Uva beach is a short walk and makes for a lovely early morning walk, plenty of bird and animal life to be seen. Great for swimming. The lodge is set in lovely gardens, the cabins all being well separated. We had the smallest of the cabins, which was little tight, but was equipped enough for us to prepare a couple of dinners. The place was clean and well looked after. The lady who looked after us is a delight. She gave us a lift to get our bikes and also took us to the Great Green Macaw sanctuary herself. A very worthwhile trip to see these magnificent birds. Overall absolutely fine place to stay. Would be better with a car but we managed without. Note, cash payment is expected. ATMs can be hard to find so stick up while you can.
