Lodge Details

Number of rooms: 16 Property Size: 1 acres Lodge Style: Guesthouse Ownership Type: Family

Country: Puerto Rico

Situated on the South side of El Yunque Rainforest, Casa Cubuy offers comfortable lodgings where you are surrounded by the beauty and wonders of this lush rain forest. Sunbathe on granite boulders worn smooth by eons of swirling waters, relax in a hammock on the verandah, read, or watch the clouds roll by in this peaceful setting of giant tree ferns, towering breadfruit trees, cascading waterfalls, and wild orchids.

How this lodge promotes good stewardship of the environment:

All recyclables are collected and seperated
We compost all organic matter
Our altitude of 1500 feet makes AC unnecessary
We use solar panels to heat water to conserve energy
We cook with gas to further reduce the use of fossil fuels
We work with environmental awareness communiy groups
We have only shower baths to conserve water
We use no pesticides or herbicides
Finally, we urge our guests to take nothing out of the forest and leave only footprints

What To Do:

From the ecolodge you can take easily walkable trails, which lead to the Cubuy and Sabana River pools, ideal for swimming. You’ll feel dwarfed amidst the bamboo, palms, fern trees, and colorful flora of the jungle. Waters at this elevation are clean enough to drink and refreshingly cool. You can hear the rushing sound of the waterfalls from your bedroom. Here, you will find birds, lizards, and the popular coqui frog!
Just a short trek up the road brings you to the El Yunque National Park entrance, which provides a number of different hiking trail options. Whether you prefer leisure walks through swaying bamboo or (for the experienced hiker in search of a challenge) the rugged terrain of the more difficult trails, we promise you an unforgettable vacation hiking, swimming, and relaxing in this remote paradise.A
