Finca Verde Lodge is situated in Norther Costa Rica, 25km south of Upala. The location of Finca Verde Lodge allows visitors to explore areas of interest and national parks easily accessible.

We would recommend that if you are travelling by car you use a 4x4 as some of the local roads require one and it will be a much more comfortable journey around this part of Costa Rica.
