Cabo Matapalo Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

If you ever go to Costa Rica, you have to stop by Cabo Matapalo, close to Corcovado. You won't see that many tourists there. And on top of the beautiful spot, if you're lucky you'll encounter colourful frogs, toucans, howler monkeys and spider monkeys... as we did :)

Honeymoon in Paradise - This was the view from our bed. This very private eco lodge has its own in-house naturalist that will gladly take you on walks through the jungle or down to the beach. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect paradise.
