Esquinas is a wonderful, cozy, and "green" place. They emphasize their goal of being local and low impact. The cabin was comfy, the food was very good, and the tours they arrange were superb. Wildlife is everywhere, so watch where you step. An afternoon rainstorm is an impressive event, too. Staff were very helpful.

There was a very 'uncommercial' feel about the place - we actually felt like guests rather than customers. For us, the balance between comfort and getting close to nature was just right - a clean and comfortable if basic room, with wildlife just outside the door and windows - including a small colony of bats in the roof of our...

I stayed at Esquinas a couple of months ago, and it was a wonderful surprise. I went to sleep in a cozy wood cabin and woke up to a concert of birds. I like running in the mornings, so I put my shoes on and ran down the road and the whole environment was so awesome, so fresh and secluded.... More

I spent two nights at Esquinas in late January and loved every moment. The cabin was very comfortable and roomy and it was lovely to fall asleep listening to all the sounds of the rainforest. Soap and shampoo are provided and, in keeping with the philosophy of the lodge, are biodegradable. The large thatched roof lodge held the bar, reception... More

We stayed at Esquinas for 3 days last february. The staff have been very helpful throughout our stay (even helped to arrange this when we had a car problem on the way to the lodge); and always with a big smile. The food is very good but maybe a bit too much. The layout and surroundings of the lodge are... More

We stayed at Esquinas as part of a tour with Exodus, and it was a definite highlight of the trip. The location was the most remote we visited, and you really feel like you are in the middle of the rainforest! The staff were all excellent, and the food was very good. It was also my birthday during this visit... More

I took a group of birders there and we really enjoyed it. It has a great location in the middle of the forest, nice cabins, comfy bar/lounge, good food and service. Birding was excellent. Many of the trails are steep and slippery, and were difficult for some of the older members of the group, but some of the best birding... More

My husband is an avid birder and I love to hike - Esquinas is wonderful for both. The trails range from easy to challenging, and after 3 stays at Esquinas there are still birds to be found for my husband! The temperatures are warm with high humidity so the pool is a real delight in the afternoon. The stream water... More

The first impressions, when entering the lodge area, are the heat and the humidity. How an earth do they get anything dry here? (they have a drier). Then you check in with the efficient and very helpful staff, your suitcase is carried to your cabin and you can relax with your first beer. The lodge is owned by an Austrian... More
