Chakra Ego Lodge and Private Retreat Center is located near the town of San Jeronimo, Perez Zeledon.  It lies between two of Costa Rica's most important national parks: Chiripo National Park and La Amistad (an international park shared with Panama) It is one hour from San Isidro and 2.5 hours from the nearest beach.

Chakra was founded by two Costa Rican biologists, who were passionate about preserving the delicate ecosystems of the cloudforest, while allowing people to enjoy the remote and seldom-explored terrain.  By hosting small and intimate groups at the eco-lodge, they provide a valuable source of income to the small neighboring town of San Jeronimo, while allowing people to truly get off the grid in a lush, vibrant environment.

​

There is no electricity at Chakra lodge and no wifi or cell signal in the main lodge areas, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the present moment - feeling, breathing, and interacting with their surroundings and with others.  The aim is to focus awareness on the way we view obstacles and challenges, as well as our reliance on modern comforts and false "needs".

​

The lodge is completely hand made, and the majority of the structures were built using reclaimed wood from the property. 80% of the total property (surrounding the lodge) has been preserved for reforestation and conservation.

Chakra offers 6 open air cabins and has a total occupancy of 18 guests plus staff.  The lodge is located 5577 feet above sea level and temperatures can range from 77 F during the day down to 50 F at night.  There are 2 hot showers, 3 flushing toilets and a complete kitchen where a local families prepare your meals.  All special dietary needs can be taken into consideration.
