Guaria
de Osa's touchstone feat of architecture is the Lapa Lapa
Lodge - named after the Macaws that visit Guaria daily. The lodge
is a three-storied 36-foot high structure - 35 x 50 feet
(10 x 15 meters) with over 3700 square feet of floor space overlooking
the gardens.
The first floor is set up on a raised rock wall running the 50-foot
span of the house. It has a 13-foot (4 meters) high ceiling suspended
by majestic Manu pillars. Its tiled floor is trimmed with ornamental
patterns and delicately made tiled mosaics. Hammocks and comfortable
rattan furniture offer an ideal place for coming together, where
people and nature harmoniously join.
The second floor welcomes you into an expansive space with a
16foot (4.85 meter) high ceiling and long overhanging roof eaves.
Its hardwood floor provides comfort to bare feet. The fanned rafters
above give way to rising “cloud burst” roof eaves
that encourage a free-flowing feeling with a sense of no beginning
or end. With 1200 square feet of floor space this floor is ideal
for movement arts and the acoustics are so fine for music!
Its observatory/meditation cupola on the third floor is 300 square
feet and offers a panoramic view of the sparkling Pacific Ocean,
Rainforest clothed ridges, and boasting sunsets!
^ top
On the East and South side of the Lapa Lapa Lodge Guaria's
campus has about 5000 square feet of lawn space planted with short
and soft green grass - comfortable to bare feet. The lawns,
surrounded by gardens, are ideal for movement work, such as Yoga
and Tai Chi - and safe for children to play.
The
Ethnobotanical and Permaculture Gardens at Guaria de Osa intertwine
with the surrounding abundant native vegetation. Aromatic Ylang
Ylang trees, frequently visited by Toucans who love their fruits,
fill the clean tropical air with fragrance. The gardens have been
planted with a myriad of ancestral cultigens and ethnobotanical
treasures from South and Central America. Fragrant plants, ornamental
shrubs and trees, grafted citrus and avocados, and numerous orchids
all provide a serene and breathtaking environment. The gardens
are always in full swing boasting all kinds of flowers. The intention
of creating a sustainable land use practice at Guaria is in deep,
loving respect with Nature … with lots of hammocks everywhere
to bask in the glow.
^ top
Guaria de Osa is nestled in a Nature Sanctuary rooted by marine
and rainforest ecosystems with plenty of trail hikes, beach and
ocean to explore and enjoy. The 5acre campus, surrounded by big
rainforest trees, is only a 3 min. stroll to the Pacific Beach
- unless you stop to smell the flowers and/or greet the
birds. Guaria de Osa borders Marenco Biological Reserve and our
other neighbor is none other than Costa Rica's Crown Jewel
of National Park Systems - Corcovado National Park -
just a 15 min. boat ride away to the park's boundary or
a 2 hour hike (about 3 miles).
Embedded in the “Little Amazon by the Ocean” of the
Osa Peninsula, where towering stands of primary Rainforest kiss
the sparkling Pacific Ocean, you'll find that Guaria de
Osa's cosmic dimensions and its relationship with Nature
as Teacher can crystallize your experience.
^ top
Guaria is pronounced: Gua-ri-ya (accent on the first
syllable). Because the founder and steward of Guaria de Osa, Jonathon
S. Miller-Weisberger, is an ethnobotanist, he chose to name the
centre after the national flower of Costa Rica, a magenta colored
Orchid and because the centre is located on the Osa Peninsula
- hence the name: Guaria de Osa.
Our web sites are:
GuariadeOsa.com •

OrchidoftheRainforest.com
• rainforestconservationprojects.org
Guaria de Osa is a rainforest ocean wilderness discovery
centre embedded in a tropical Rainforest where the beach is our
'front yard' - big trees in our 'back yard' -
with aromatic Ylang Ylangs Trees enveloping the campus. Guaria
de Osa's keystone is shaped by the natural principles of interdependence,
diversity, kinship, community, cooperation, mystery and reciprocity
- lessons we, the staff, learn from plants as teacher and
from the wisdom of the natural world - in concert (at the very
least) with the scarlet macaws, howler and capuchin monkeys; exquisite
medicinal plants; the soft sounds of warm ocean waves gurgling
in the background; while at night, the crickets, frogs, and cicadas
collaborate in singsong!
We arrange all your Costa Rican domestic reservations
and transfers to facilitate your arrival effortlessly. At Guaria
de Osa you will find comfort and contentment in a teaching/learning
wilderness discovery centre you will want to keep returning to.

is more reusable on the beach than a towel.

Through
the natural world of Guaria's Garden,
in the Rainforest,
on the Beach and Ocean,
under a Blue Tropical Sky.
1) Rio Claro (Clear River) - a beach and forest
hike to a rainforest jade-green river with fresh water where you
can canoe and swim and bathe in its waterfalls!
On the way to Rio Claro we walk on the beach and through the
forest to San Josecito Beach Landing -
about 15 min. stroll north of Guaria de Osa. This beach-shore
landing is probably as spectacular as the most paradisiacal atmosphere
of the South Pacific Islands - a perfect swimming spot with
an amazing little coral cove for safe snorkeling. At San Josecito
we can visit a beautiful garden, rent a kayak, swim, and/or relax
by the ocean side.
Continuing north for another 15min. - an uphill and downhill
hike - we come to Rio Claro, where the forest
kisses the sea! Where this jungle river with crystal-clear pools
has a beautiful forest and waterfall! Río Claro is a fresh
water, jade-green river - idyllic for river canoeing.
On the Pacific side of the bank at Rîo Claro is a world-class
surf spot, boasting powerful right and left waves, and revealing,
at times, perfect surf tubes!
Río Claro also lends to swimming, snorkeling, boogie-boarding,
kayaking, and of course, forest hikes and bird watching all along
the way.
At Río Claro there are coves for the more adventuresome
snorkelers where one can commonly see lobsters, blue jacks, red
snapper, blue sea stars, moray eels, manta rays, and other tropical
fish.
Includes: picnic lunch and guide(s)
Duration: About half a day or a full day's day trip.
2) St. Joseph's Ridge Trail is a 'path
not taken' leading to an epic panoramic vista of the Pacific!
This is a Rainforest, Wildlife, Observation and Scenic Lookout
Trek - a half-day's rainforest hike looping up a steep ridge
up behind Guaria de Osa. In part, this can be a vigorous walk.
Then the path levels off leading through towering Rainforest with
epic panoramic vistas of San Josecito Beach, the Pacific Ocean
and its majestic expanse in the company of outcroppings like Campanario
Biological Reserve and Caño Island Oceanic Reserve is a
wondrous sight.
Wildlife is often seen such as monkeys, toucans, coatis, guans,
and white hawks and a myriad of birds and richly colored plant
life within a superb forest! Howler monkeys, spider monkeys and/or
white-faced capuchin monkeys oftentimes show up to greet you along
your way! This path winds through primary forest leading to huge
trees and a most majestic ancient Nazareno Purple Heart Tree.
Includes: trail snacks & guide(s). We leave
Guaria at 8 am after breakfast; return by 2 pm for a late lunch
3) Please choose:
4) An interpretative Plant Walk and Talk on
through our Ethnobotanical Gardens - illuminating the use, application,
and mythology of the plants.
5) An evening presentation on “Ethnobotany,
Cultural and Biological Diversity.” Learn about Rainforest
Conservation and Cultural Heritage Renewal projects in places
most people have forgotten about.
6) Our Preferred Scenic Departure Route: please

Why
is the Osa Peninsula Sooooo Special? |
The Osa Peninsula remains Costa
Rica's last wild frontier even twenty-five years after its first
national park - Corcovado - was created in the peninsula.
The Osa Peninsula is also called “The Little Amazon”
of Costa Rica. With pristine beaches and virgin forest, the Osa
Peninsula is described by National Geographic as “The most
biologically intense place on Earth.” This description is
a reference to the incredible abundance of wildlife on the Osa
Peninsula - not only in it's rainforests, but in it's surrounding
marine environment as well. Without a doubt, the most unique area
in all of Costa Rica, the Osa is a place where Jaguars still roam
the jungle and Scarlet Macaws fly around in the towns and campesinos
from the mountains still ride a horse - something you will rarely
see anywhere else in the country.
You will also find world-class surfing, scuba diving,
fishing, exploring, and a classic mixture of ex-patriots that
now call this place 'home!' After a couple of days, you know for
sure that the Osa is different than the other places you've been
in Costa Rica. Before long, you won't want to go home and when
you do get home, you can't stop thinking about this place. You
will feel what those of us that live here have discovered as a
rare place and you may just recognize that "There is no place
like the Osa!" Surely you'll want to return again and again.
The Osa is not for everyone. You will not find big
hotels, condos, or large development projects here - or even a
road - or a movie theatre or a grocery or drugstore 'around
the corner' and all of that. If that's what you are looking
for, there are other places in Costa Rica to visit.
If
you are looking for a close encounter with raw Nature, both land
and sea, and if it excites you to think about being in stunning
wilderness setting with the Rainforest in your 'back yard'
and an abandoned beach in your 'front yard' or where
there is a discovery centre operating on solar energy and there's
purified water gushing out from rocks - or where the lush
jungle and shimmering black beach are alive with exotic plants
and animals and where you'll greet this emerald-green world
at eye-level, from Scarlet Macaws, Howler Monkeys, and colorful
Toucans to endangered green sea turtles - and at night hear
the concert of crickets and frogs and cicadas - and where
our guides and acclaimed Ethnobotanist have eagle eyes, spot rare
squirrel monkeys, peccaries, sloths, coatimundis, and dozens of
other species - then Guaria de Osa, a wilderness discovery
centre, embedded in a location teeming with Life where adventure
is born - awaits you with its touchstone architecture and exquisite
medicinal plant garden and perfumed Ylang Ylangs and a myriad
of flowers, mango trees, pineapple bushes, and more - stewarded
by a staff that is proactively protecting flora and fauna ...
the Rainforest and the Ocean … where gratefully we can experience
our cells pulsating PURA VIDA on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica
where everything is connected and interrelated!
* * * *
Thank you for your attention and intention and
for the privilege of sharing Guaria de Osa with you.
We look forward to working with you and may we
fulfill our dreams together!
Pura Vida! (as said in Costa Rica!)
