Environmentally-friendly eco-lodge at the foot of the Tenorio Volcano, sitting in the middle of a biological corridor and acting as a base for tourists in the north of Costa Rica, an emergent area for tourism. Costa Rica is a world leader in eco-tourism, and the Blue Mountain Lodge has positioned itself in this ever-growing segment with a lodge that accommodates 18 guest rooms and that was built following ecologically-conscious concepts. Nestled between two volcanoes– Tenorio and Miravalles– the lodge’s doors open up to the famous Río Celeste area and the Tenorio Volcano National Park.

The lodge sits on nearly 7 hectares, of which 4 are protected primary tropical forest, adjacent to the national park. Given the neighboring properties of protected land, the hotel will be permanently protected on three of its borders, as it is the home of tapirs, monkeys, felines and more birds than you could ever count. The property has spectacular views of the Tenorio and Miravalles volcanoes, as well as of the town of Bijagual de Upala. At 800m (2,400ft) of elevation, Blue Mountain Lodge is a year-round comfortable spring temperature, and is always caressed by at least a light breeze.

There are 18 guest rooms with full bathrooms, two rooms for guides/chauffeur with a shared full bathroom, and two small lodges for management with full bathrooms (one with three rooms and another with two), bringing the total to 37 beds.
