Why go to La Cusinga?
Ultra-tropical, virgin rainforest with monkeys and toucans, pristine coast, secluded beaches, lively reefs, among the best in Costa Rica and all close and accesible.
The rainforest-surrounded beach at La Cusinga, called "Playa de Arco" is part of Ballena (Whale) Marine National Park, created to protect its various coastal marine habitats, also endangered species like the Pacific hawksbill turtles that live and nest here, and the humpback whales that visit the park every year from both Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The electricity comes from the stream we swim in and the sun. Lots of fresh local organic food.
