El Silencio Lodge & Spa

El Silencio Lodge is hidden in Costa Rica’s cloud forest, just 1.5 hours from the San Jose International Airport. It is an award-winning, top-rated eco-lodge and the only Relais and Chateaux hotel in Central America. The lodge has also earned the Certification of Sustainable Tourism and the 5-Leave Award.
