The Dulce Lodge is surrounded by the undisturbed primary lowland
rainforest of the Piedras Blancas National Park, an extension of the
Corcovado National Park and the clear waters of the Golfo Dulce.
The Golfo Dulce Lodge consists of more than 300 hectares (750 acres)
and was bought to conserve the existing virgin rainforest, and to set
up a small place for nature and animal lovers to experience the
magnificent world of an almost untouched environment on an individual
basis, far away from tourist crowds.
The
lodge offers boat tours to the mangroves of the Esquinas River and
different hikes leading through various ecosystems such as primary and
secondary rainforest, an extensive heliconia field, fruit trees and
pasture. An easy accessible, safe observation platform invites for
birding and nature studies. The platform can also be reached within 20
minutes on a self-guided tour with an educational description of the
most interesting plants growing along the path.
So far, bird specialists have identified 340 different species of birds
on the lodge property or in the adjacent Piedras Blancas National Park.
A local naturalist and/or German/English speaking biology students
guide the jungle hikes.
From 1997 up to 2000 the Golfo Dulce Lodge supported the official Wildcat Rehabilitation Center Profelis, founded by the two German biologists Sigi Weisel and Sabine Weber, for reintroducing confiscated margays (Leopardus wiedii) and ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) into their natural habitat, the tropical lowland rainforest of the Piedras Blancas National Park. On a remote part of the lodge rainforest, the first worldwide documented margay release took place in February 1998, conducted by Profelis, and was filmed by the German TV-crew VOX. Additionally, part of the documentaries on cats by the well-known broadcasting teams of BBC and Wild Things California were filmed on the lodge property.
