The Río Indio Ecolodge

Embraces a perfect balance between comfort and adventure. This hidden jewel is a true ecological and sport fishing resort!

The Rio Indio Ecolodge was developed by a group of environmentally conscientious investors from North America, Nicaragua and Costa Rica who wanted to introduce this 1,600 sq. kilometer Indio Maíz World Heritage National Park to people that care about the environment and its pristine beauty. After a 2 ½ year environmental impact study, the carefully designed construction began using Nicaragua’s finest hand craftsmen, and wood from tree farms and reforestation programs. It took three years to build after surpassing many logistical problems of material transportation down the seasonal jungle rivers. Our goal was to create local jobs, operate a sustainable project and staff the lodge with local native people, mostly of the Rama tribe.

Each of the 27 cabins have been built on stilts over the jungle floor which allows for a canopy view of the river and Captain Morgan’s Lagoon. Measuring 700 square feet each, they have been constructed out of the wood from tree farms and using local craftsmen, the private and sophisticated rooms are very open and are outfitted with 2 comfortable queen-size beds, overhead fans, and a large, ornately-tiled bathroom. Additionally, each room has a screened-in deck, where you can relax and enjoy the amazing views of the water and the surrounding wildlife. Río Indio Lodge provides daily room service, fresh towels and, in case you forgot to bring them, complimentary shampoo and soap.

A superbly managed eco lodge offering exceptional fishing and great wildlife viewing opportunities on the banks of the San Juan River System where it meets the Caribbean Sea. Guided fishing for huge tarpon (seasonal) plus a host of snappers and other species. This is a fly and lure anglers paradise in a jungle lodge environment with excellent facilities.

Guests overnight in a four star hotel San Jose Costa Rica. The next day a private flight takes you to the lodge. Flexible durations are on offer but we suggest a 1 plus 6 night stay with 6 days fishing. All meals and guided fishing from comfortable boats. Fishing is good year round but exceptional size tarpon are caught September/October. Dave Lewis escorts a number of small groups on selected dates.
