Chosa Manglar Nature Retreat

Greetings English speakers, come and enjoy. Hola Amigos Españoles, vengan y disfrutar la naturaleza! Ciao amici Italiani, vieni a visitare e divertiti! Bonjour amis Français, venez visiter et profiter de la nature. Hallo Deutsche Freunde, komm und genieße die Natur.  

Recently we completed the purchase of more than 250 hectares or more than 600 acres of primary rain forest on the Osa Peninsula. Our property group can now proudly state that we have become carbon neutral achieving one of our long time family and corporate goals. Pura Vida!

Chosa Manglar Nature Retreat is a naturalist's delight. It's a small group of indiscreet structures nestled into 4 acres of property bordering the mangrove, creek & forest. Some species of animals live on-site while others traverse twice daily, in the morning and again in the afternoon. It's a camouflaged collection of rooms and cabins connected by trails, raised walkways & bridges supplemented with garden sitting areas, hammocks, open-air lounges and a raised swimming pool. Continental breakfast of Coffee, Tea, Fruit and Pastries is included in the price.  

La Chosa is located in Puerto Jimenez, 300 meters to the town center and 300 meters to the beach. La Chosa offers easy access to more than 20 eating establishments in town, many of which will deliver their dishes to La Chosa but you can walk everywhere in town so no car is required.

Our accommodations are for people looking for an authentic, tropical experience at a great price. We strive diligently to maintain a healthy level of cleanliness & comfort in this crazy wild spot between the primeval Osa forest of Corcovado & the abundant tropical waters of the "Golfo Dulce" & Pacific ocean.

Common wildlife sightings on the property include: Four species of Monkey, Kinkajou, Raccoon, Coatis, Armadillo, Anteater, Sloth, Raptors, Toucans, Scarlet Macaw, Crocodile, Cayman, Lizards, Snakes, Beetles, Hummingbirds, Butterflies, Herons, Iguanas & various other Birds, Insects, Reptiles & Amphibians. 

When you need a break from the wildlife, kick back and enjoy the colorful surroundings & tropical amenities. The open-air lounge is decorated with beautiful, hand painted murals showcasing the "Monkey Bar" complete with a transparent ceiling and a "suita palm" palapa roof. The large communal kitchen is loaded with everything you need to cook up a storm. It's great for socializing. Please enjoy it as much as we have over the years and if you don't want to cook just order from our neighbours, their menus are placed in the kitchen

Chosa Manglar Nature Retreat is not just a place to throw your head, it's a truly overwhelming immersion into a tropical environment with a truly AFFORDABLE price. It's our family's gift to you & yours, so please enjoy! Check out our photo gallery if you want to see what we're talking about or better yet, when in town stop by and ask to see the grounds. We'll be happy to show you around.

Pura Vida from Familia Gray Ortega & the entire "Escape to the Tropics" & "Chosa del Manglar" Team!
