With a variety of climates and habitats, the region is a mecca for nature lovers, hikers, birders, surfers, and sport fisherman. There are several waterfalls and swimming ponds in the southern zone for you to enjoy. We recommend you to take a refreshing swim in the river that you pass - 2 km before the house - next to the concrete bridge. This is the favourite spot of the locals as well. Or you can simply stay at the house enjoying the infinity pool overlooking The Pacific Ocean. The house has several terraces just for relaxing and you can always find shadow near the pool. Dazzling in the lounger reading a good book or just watching how the sun, skies and weather is changing the landscape all the time.

What is the weather like? Costa Rica is a small country but even though the climate is diverse and very varied. Costa Rica can be divided into several climatic zones, but in generally classified as a tropical country because of its proximity to the equator. Costa Rica has no real winter period, and the sun shines here throughout the year. In general, the weather can be classified as a dry (or high season) - and a wet - (or green season). With over 12 hours of sunshine a day, the sun rises at about 6 am and sets at about 6 pm consistently throughout the year. As mentioned Costa Rica does not really have summer or winter as the temperature is more or less constant throughout the year. The green season (rainy season) lasts from May to November - September and October being the heaviest rain period. Even though July is in the green season it is a popular month for visiting Costa Rica. Normally it rains in the afternoons. Even though the surroundings at Casa Mamaluma is green all year around you will find the rivers, waterfall and vegetation even more beautiful in the green season. In fact, the rain is often welcome on a hot day. The months of December through April - having little to almost no rain - is the high and dry season of Costa Rica. Temperatures during the day are often around 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit) and drops to 22 degrees Celsius at night (72 Fahrenheit). Casa Mamaluma is built in an altitude of 300 meters above sea level (1000 ft.) while you will always have a nice breeze from the Pacific Ocean. The retreat – do I have the house by myself? Yes. You have access to the entire house and the 4,5 acres’ retreat. The neighborhood is very quiet and you can enjoy the peace, the nature and the stunning flora and fauna from the many terraces around Casa Mamaluma. In the green season, you will even find small waterfalls at the property. The sound of your private waterfalls is healthy and soothen. Sometimes the peaceful surroundings are interrupted by the sounds of the 'congo' howler monkeys or by the variety of birds flying by including toucans and parrots. The flora and fauna is just amazing. Casa Mamaluma is also constructed in a way that you will all have private rooms whether you are 2, 4 or 6 people traveling together. Due to the large retreat – you will always be able to find a spot where you can enjoy the surroundings by yourself. The nearest smaller town – and the place to dine. Ojochal is 5 minutes up the highway. If you are looking for a good place to dine – this is the culinary destination of the South Pacific. With fine dining ranging from Mediterranean to Indonesian, you are sure to find a great meal. Reserve before you go as people travel from as far as Jacó to dine in a jungle atmosphere. You will also fine small grocery shops in Ojochal. The bigger supermarkets are placed in Uvita or Palmar Norte. Both approximately 15 minutes up or down the highway. Do Casa Mamaluma have internet? Yes. We have WiFi. But do not expect to stream movies by the internet. But then again – why rent a house in the rainforest just for streaming movies. For the same reason there are no TVs in the house. If you have an unlocked cellphone we advise you to by a simcard at the airport. There are three big providers for prepaid SIMs in Costa Rica. The state-owned Kolbi ICE is widely known to have the best service in the country. The Kolbi SIM card cost around 2,000 colones (about $4 US) and you will need to show your passport when you buy it. It is very easy to top up your prepaid saldo — just look for a store with the Kolbi logo and give them the phonenumber of the SIMcard. You can buy different plans. We normaly buy the plan “mes” – which means “month”. It will cost you 9,000 colones and comes with 2gb data for your journey if you, for instance, want to use the app Waze as a GPS. Please note - there are spots around Costa Rica and especially in Coronado that do not have signal. Normally Casa Mamaluma has a reasonable signal. If you are planning to use some of your time looking for adventure you will not be disappointed. Common for all adventures in the area is that they are all combined with the beautiful nature in Costa Rica eg. canopy tour, Sport Fishing, Nauyaca waterfalls, snorkel and scuba diving, Whale watching, beautiful beaches, Surfing trips to National parks eg Corcavado National Park
