How do you get to our Ecolirios Lodge?

If you have already made a booking with us and are seeking directions to Ecolirios, here’s the essential information you need. Ecolirios is located approximately one hour and forty minutes from the capital, San Jose. The journey mainly consists of paved roads and highways, but it is advisable to travel in a 4x4 vehicle for optimal access. The final stretch of the trip involves around 40 minutes of travel on dirt roads, which will enhance your experience as you immerse yourself in the tranquility of the tropical rainforest.

Ecolirios is a boutique concept ecolodge. From the outset of its construction, the establishment has been designed as a luxurious hotel situated in a remote, lush tropical forest. The founders aimed to embody the purest essence of Costa Rica, opting for a location that is removed from urban civilization and its associated pollution.

The location in question is situated within the province of Limón, specifically in the canton of Guácimo. Although this area may not rank among Costa Rica's most renowned tourist destinations, it is experiencing significant growth in tourism due to its proximity to the slopes of the Turrialba volcano. Given the unique topography and the presence of numerous waterfalls in the vicinity, there has been minimal human intervention, which contributes to the area's appeal. Consequently, it is not surprising that the hotel is included in the tourist offerings along the Water Route.

The recommended route our visitors should take if coming from San José is route 32, better known as the Braulio Carrillo (ZurquÍ), a journey of approximately 40 minutes to reach the city of Guápiles. Then you will have to drive to Guacimo, which is located 13 km from the town of Guápiles. The road to Guacimo is in excellent condition as it is a newly completed highway. Now, once you arrive at the bridge over the Guacimo River, you will have to take the first entrance on the right-hand side by a dirt road to the hotel (4x4 vehicle recommended) with a duration of 30 minutes to our Hotel Ecolirios.

It is not recommended to drive in sedan-type vehicles or low vehicles; it is recommended at least a 4x2 vehicle or a 4x4 vehicle due to the unexpected rainfall in the area.

Suppose you are going to the Ecolirios Hotel from Tortuguero or La Fortuna. In that case, you will have to drive to the city of Guápiles and then to Guácimo, taking the same ballast road that you will find at the first entrance on the right-hand side after the bridge over the Guácimo River. It is essential to clarify that you will find signs of the hotel throughout the route, facilitating your journey.

For customers driving from the South Caribbean from the cities of Puerto Viejo or Cahuita, you must take route 36 to the city of Limón and then take route 32 and drive to the town of Guácimo, where you will make a detour into the city of Guácimo to enter through the ballast road that is located at the first entrance on the right-hand side after the bridge over the Guácimo River.
