Our Core Values

Costa Rican Alonso Bermúdez (CEO, left) and Marvín Fernández (CFO, right) look forward hosting you as their guests and ensuring that your vacation is as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.

Our estate has been awarded the highest certification for sustainability: "Nivel Élite" of the CST certificate (Certification of sustainable tourism). The certification has strict requirements e.g. including active protection of the environment, recycling, and favoring local, organically grown products. Another sign of our commitment to ecologically friendly operations are our solar panels and the hotel’s own water recycling system.

As a guest in our eco-lodge, amidst breathtaking nature, you can rest and relax with a clear conscience. The Swiss owners and the Costa Rican management team are not focused on maximum profits: a percentage of the room rates goes toward projects that promote education and conservation. We are also committed to supporting the local population (www.edunamica.org, www.edunamica.cr, www.ecovida.ch).

Lagarta Lodge artfully unites modern architecture and tastefully designed rooms with the outdoor environment. Nature-focused artworks, teak furniture, and a color scheme that harmonizes with nature are the main features of our interior spaces.

Paintings, objects, and sculptures bear witness to the inspiration and energy of this magical place, its rhythms, its colors, its natural wonders: Art and design, architecture and nature achieve unity.
