Welcome to Casa Drake Lodge!

Spend some time with a genuine Costa Rican family. Share our beautiful home and enjoy our stunning location on the Osa Peninsula. Casa Drake Lodge was initiated by the Alemán-Fajardo family as a way of protecting the forest and rivers located on their land by opening up their property to tourism. Experience nature up close with the people who know it best and contribute to the sustainable development of Los Planes.

Discover Drake Bay, one of Costa Rica's most beautiful locations, and partake in a cultural exchange by sharing your stay with one of the area's pioneer families. Casa Drake Lodge is located in the town of Los Planes, merely twenty minutes by foot from Corcovado National Park's Los Planes Ranger Station. The lodge is set on a large property which includes pasture, well developed secondary forest as well as primary forest. There are many trails to explore throughout the property that will take you deep into the Osa Peninsula's spectacular old growth forest.

Los Planes truly is a naturalist's dream. Casa Drake Lodge's proximity to Corcovado National Park and other private primary forest reserves gives visitors unparalleled access to the Osa Peninsula's most prized assets: its forests and wildlife.
