Description

The Snail House is nestled on a stunning jungle property in the Osa Peninsula, 15 minutes from Puerto Jimenez—the gateway to the famous Corcovado National Park. This tranquil and secluded cabin offers an unparalleled escape, with many private trails, perfect for spotting wildlife. The property borders a serene river and a 8-minute walk from the beach. Whether you’re seeking adventure or...

The Space

The Snail House offers the best of both worlds when it comes to living in the jungle. Embrace the sounds and sights of the rainforest with its cozy outdoor living spaces, where you can listen to the calls of birds and spot wildlife like the playful Squirrel monkeys. When you’re ready to unwind, step into the comfort of an air-conditioned interior, complete with a TV for a cozy night in. For a truly unique experience, the beautiful outdoor shower lets you connect with nature, all while watching monkeys curiously eyeing you from the trees above. It’s the perfect blend of jungle immersion and modern comfort.

Guest access
There are two ways to get to The Snail House, each offering its own unique experience. The first option is to fly into Puerto Jimenez Airport with Sansa Airlines, offering a stunningly scenic flight over the lush landscapes of the Osa Peninsula. Once you arrive, the cabin is just a 15-minute drive or taxi ride away. The second option is to fly into San José International Airport, rent a car, and embark on a beautiful 5-hour drive through the Costa Rican countryside. Be sure to stop at the famous Crocodile Bridge in Tarcoles—it’s a must-see along the way! Whether you choose to drive or fly, a two-wheel drive vehicle is more than enough to navigate the journey with ease.

Other things to note
Since the property borders a river, it serves as a natural wildlife corridor, providing a habitat for an incredible variety of animals. This unique location means that the wildlife on the property is abundant and diverse, offering an unforgettable opportunity for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Some of the remarkable animals that have been spotted here include Sloths, Coatimundis, and Tamanduas. You may also catch a glimpse of a River Otter gliding through the water or a rat snake slinking across the trails. The skies above are often graced by the majestic Scarlet Macaw, Roseate Spoonbill, and even the occasional Black Hawk soaring overhead. At night, the sounds of the jungle come alive with the hoots of a Spectacle Owl or the rustling of a Kinkajou in the trees.

The property is also home to a variety of reptiles, including the River Turtle, Red-Tailed Boa, Cat-Eyed Snake, “Jesus Christ” lizard, also known as the basilisk, and the infamous Ferdelance Snake . Mammals like the Jaguarundi, Opossum, and Porcupine roam the trails, while Capuchin Monkeys, Howler Monkeys, and Squirrel Monkeys swing through the canopy. You might also be lucky enough to spot an Armadillo, Red-Eyed Tree frog, Skunk, or even an Ocelot at night as you explore the Jungle.

The diversity of bird species is equally impressive, with the Chestnut-mandibled Toucan, Tinamou, Acari, Amazon Parrot, and Boat-Billed Heron among the many avian residents. Geckos and Tanagers can be seen darting about, while Green Iguanas often bask in the sun. The lush jungle is alive with an ever-changing mix of creatures, each more fascinating than the last.

With such an extraordinary array of wildlife, the property offers a truly immersive experience. Take a walk, keep your eyes peeled, and see what you can find in this vibrant natural paradise!
