Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get to Finca La Tarde, and is the journey challenging?

We recommend flying into Puerto Jimenez or Drake Bay, then arranging a boat transfer directly with the lodge. The boat ride itself is a scenic adventure, offering glimpses of the coastline and marine life before you arrive at their private beach. It feels like stepping into a true wilderness escape.

What kind of wildlife can we expect to see directly at Finca La Tarde, even without entering Corcovado National Park?

We love the incredible biodiversity right on the property; it truly feels like an extension of the park. Expect to wake to howler monkeys, spot capuchins and sloths in the trees, and perhaps even see scarlet macaws flying overhead while you enjoy your morning coffee. The nocturnal sounds are equally captivating.

When is the best time to visit Finca La Tarde for optimal weather and wildlife viewing?

We highly recommend visiting during the dry season, from December to April, for the most comfortable weather and easier trail conditions. While the wet season brings lush greenery, the dry months offer clearer skies for stargazing and make wildlife spotting a bit more predictable. The sunsets are sensational year-round, however.

What is the overall atmosphere and comfort level like at Finca La Tarde, given its remote jungle setting?

We find Finca La Tarde strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and essential comfort; it feels luxurious and timeless in its simplicity. The open-air bungalows are thoughtfully designed to immerse you in nature while providing comfortable beds and private bathrooms, making for a truly authentic yet relaxing stay. You'll feel completely connected to the environment.

How does Finca La Tarde facilitate excursions into Parque Nacional Corcovado, and what should we expect?

Finca La Tarde is perfectly positioned for Corcovado access, and they expertly arrange guided tours directly from the lodge. We recommend booking a full-day hike with one of their experienced naturalists; they know the trails intimately and will help you spot incredible wildlife, making the experience truly unforgettable. Be prepared for an active day in the jungle.
