We are very happy to report that we have our new bridge completed that connect the lodge grounds to the primary forest. Engineers, architects and a construction crew built our brand new bridge in only 3 and half months. As you can imagine, that bridge plays a huge role for us and for our guests as it connects the Lodge to our amazing primary tropical forest.
On January 8th 2009 an earthquake that registered 6.2 on the Richter scale shook Costa Rica. Fortunately the earthquake did not do damage to our forest, lodge or town, but it did affect the sustaining pillars of our cable suspended bridge leading to our primary forest. Although we worked hard to strengthen the pillars, a few miles upstream a huge tree made a natural dam that grew daily. A few weeks after the quake, heavy rains caused the natural dam to break causing a huge wave bearing rocks, trees and anything that was on its way. With our weakened pillars this mountain of debris brought the bridge down.
