I want to first thank Yuliana and the Kimkim team for all of your help in planning this trip for my wife and I. We are truly grateful for such an unforgettable experience.
Every guide from Julio in Tortuguero to Alex (our Pacuare River rafting guide) were amazing. Also every driver that helped transport us from place to place were very hospitable.
We absolutely loved the time that we spent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, especially the gorgeous Punta de Uva Playa. One of our favorites was the serene Pacuare River Lodge. Next time we definitely have to spend more than one night there.
Well, until next time. Thank you for everything!!!

Pacuare Lodge by Böëna
Pacuare

This place is truly unforgettable. It was so calming and soothing being here. Our only regret is not spending more time here.

Authenticity & Character
Our room had incredible views on 3 sides, and instead of having windows the walls were pretty much screens. This made us feel like we were spending the night in the jungle and of course hear all of natures noises.
Location
It's great to disconnect from the business of life. It is right on the bank of the Pacuare River.
Staff
Staff was very friendly and attentive.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very well maintained and clean. Extremely comfortable.

The Guided Hike in Cahuita National Park was delightful. We got up close with the local wildlife, with monkeys being a definite highlight. The park's natural beauty and the variety of animals we saw made this a memorable part of our trip.
