Böëna Wilderness Lodges
Böëna is more than a collection of fantastic lodges: it’s also a journey, an internal voyage to a different understanding of the place we occupy in the present and future of our planet, and it’s an exploration of the differing meanings of the word “ecosystem.” All within the borders of one of the most privileged countries in the world. From its tropical forests to its cloud forests to the labyrinth of wetlands to the peak of its tallest mountains … Böëna is an invitation not to be satisfied with one single vision of the magnificent.
With the induction of XPLORE Air by Böëna, reaching each fabulous destination can be expedited by taking a glorious cross-country flight with stunning vistas, first-class service, and luxurious comfort. Our Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft is U.S.-made, brand new, and sports state-of-the-art Garmin 1000 technology. Two top-rated Costa Rican pilots with over 10,000 hours of combined flight time will ensure your travels are utterly secure, professional, and, above all, memorable.
