Avatar Eco Lodge is located on the sacred golden soil of the indigenous people, the Boruca Indians, who were one of the only natives capable of stopping Spanish colonizers from taking over their land. They were able to thanks to their connection and profound knowledge on usage of rainforest medicine we call Avatar, which is the spirit and soul of the surrounding rainforest that is seen in the sacred Jaguar mask at the Avatar Eco Lodge.
Only as soon as you come to Avatar, you can truly feel the surrounding energy and not only through the mystical and unique beauty of our nature, but through the vibrations that lead you to complete leisure and internal peace. We are in cooperation with the Boruca tribe for true representation of local art and craft, thanks to whom we have inspired six totems at Jaguar Rancho as well as the interior room decor. Thanks to the tribe’s generations of passed-on knowledge, we ourselves have expanded our own knowledge on their spiritual retreat techniques and healing through natural medicine with Borucan, Central and Southern American shamans.

Avatar Eco Lodge isn’t only a luxurious ecological reserve, but it presents an equally important role to the local environment and community. Avatar lays on a space of 45 hectares, 35 of which are primarily taken by the rainforest next to the National Park Corcovado and 10 hectares are that of land that once served as palm oil plantations.
Palm oil is a terrible danger and environmental hazard to our planet. It has caused numerous and widespread rainforest deforestations to create space for these plantations, resulting in the deterioration of this fragile ecosystem. Not only do oil palms exhaust the soil on which they’re placed on, but even after the full life cycle of a palm, it takes the soil 50 years to regenerate back to its original and former state. Instead of any beneficial values to offer, oil palms leave behind burnt grounds and not a trace of the flourishing and once vibrant rainforests that used to inhabit those spaces.
At Avatar Eco Lodge, we have a specialized program focusing on the step-by-step regeneration and reforestation of former palm oil plantations under the name of Avatar Tree Foundation. We seek to return to damaged land and restore it to its’ former beauty, by buying the old plantation plots and reforesting these areas.
By doing this, we are not only building the ecosystem backup, in aide to mother nature, but protecting the local environment from further harm. By staying at Avatar Eco Lodge, you are not only supporting an eco-project, but the local environment as well through protection of these rainforests and our encouraging activities we offer specifically for those who’d like to help in the reforestation through planting your own tree with our farmers.
The advantage of Avatar Eco Lodge is our easily accessible location. We are located along the paved road about 15 minutes from Puerto Jimenez. Get off of the main road and within 5 minutes you’ll find yourself in the middle of the rainforest. We pick up our clients at the Puerto Jimenez airstrip by fashion old Land Cruiser like from Indiana Jones movie... your adventure is just beginning!
