There are also medicinal plants like noni, aloe and hombre grande. - Hiking. Piedras Blancas or Corcovado National Park. The rainforests surrounding Saladero Lodge are primary forests - meaning they've never been cut or logged. Forests of this type are increasingly rare and support a vast diversity of life. The trees found on the property are towering giants, rivaling the redwoods of northern California. Saladero hosts 465 acres of primary rainforest, 15 acres of tropical fruits and garden and miles of pristine beachfront to explore. Guests are invited to experience the diversity of the rainforest on one of our two nature trails: * Easy trail - a 3/4 of mile loop trail starts near the beach house, follows a small creek and passes from secondary to primary rainforest. * Difficult trail - ascends to the ridge of the nearest mountain and provides a sense of higher regions of the rainforest canopy. - Before or after visiting Saladero we highly recommend a visit to the Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula. A permit is required to enter the park and tour operators in Pto Jimenez can organize your trip and make all the necessary arrangements prior to your arrival. - Native-Guided Jungle Tour.
