The Sarapiqui Neotropical Center is owned by a Belgian non-profit conservation association and is the combination of an eco-lodge, museum of Indigenous culture and a scientific research and modern education center. The museum houses pre-Colombian artifacts, a movie theatre and an amazing archaeological dig of indigenous tombs.
Dining is certainly a treat at this lodge. The restaurant features local and vegetarian cuisine, using fresh fruits and vegetables from their gardens and orchards as well as edible flowers. Another special feature of the Neotropical center is that it uses solar-energy and ecological water treatment systems.
