Our most famous animal neighbors, the coatis Chip 'n' Dale, are back in action! In this trail cam footage, you can see these tireless explorers confidently crossing the bridge that marks the boundary of our 'red zone.' From there, their path leads directly to our marked rainforest trail, taking guests into the heart of the untouched jungle. At Sabalo Lodge, wilderness begins right at your doorstep – you just have to look closely (or set up a trail cam like us!).

Where: The intersection of the Yellow and Red nature trails - Sabalo Lodge - Sierpe - Osa Peninsula - Costa Rica. Want to walk the same path as they do?

Tip: At Sabalo Lodge, coatis can be found on rainforest trails as well as near residential areas. Sometimes they can even be spotted directly on the path to the dock.

A close-up shot of a spectacled caiman that quietly appeared in our drainage canal. These waterways serve wild animals as natural corridors between the mangroves and the surrounding rainforest. It is a rare and fascinating moment to see this master of camouflage so close to human dwellings. Although the sight of it inspires respect, the caiman is inherently a very shy predator that usually chooses to retreat when encountering humans. By remaining calm and maintaining a safe distance, you can safely glimpse the wonders of Costa Rican fauna right from the lodge grounds.

Where: Drainage canal at Sabalo Lodge, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

Tip: In our garden and near the Mono accommodation and the entrance walkway to the rainforest trails, you can observe caimans especially during sunny afternoons while they sunbathe on the grassy banks. It is a unique opportunity to see these "living fossils" in their natural habitat. Occasionally, they can be found at night lurking on the bank for food in the drainage canal.

We are thrilled to share the latest footage from our camera traps. The Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) has not disappointed us, confirming that Sabalo Lodge is a permanent part of its territory. In this video, you can observe the elegant and silent movement that characterizes the jungle's most successful predators. Its regular return is a testament to the fact that our efforts to preserve the tranquility of the reserve are paying off. For scientists and photographers alike, this is a unique opportunity to monitor an animal that remains incredibly rare and elusive in other parts of the world.

Where: The ocelot stays true to its favorite paths and was recently spotted once again on the bridge along the Yellow Trail (Ocelot Trail). This route, which winds through the deeper growth of our reserve, is the perfect spot for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a true, wild jungle where big cats are your silent neighbors.

Tip: The best place to look for an ocelot in Sabalo Lodge is at the intersection of the red and yellow trails near the bridge, where there is a WiFi access point and a large camera. Move quietly, especially at night, and be patient.

We have managed to capture one of the rarest gems of Costa Rican fauna – the Tayra (Eira barbara). This large member of the weasel family is renowned for its incredible agility and intelligence. The video showcases its characteristic movement as it explores the rainforest undergrowth with tireless energy. The Tayra is an omnivore with fascinating habits (such as "storing" unripe bananas to wait for them to ripen), and its presence at Sabalo Lodge is a testament to the pristine quality of the local ecosystem. For observers and photographers, a wilderness encounter with a Tayra is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as they are highly active and wary animals.

Where: This specific Tayra is spotted in the back, most remote part of our rainforest. It most frequently appears on the Blue Trail, where it utilizes the dense vegetation cover for its hunting expeditions. If you venture onto the Blue Trail quietly, you have a chance to glimpse this nimble acrobat crossing fallen logs or climbing into the canopy.

Tip: Watch your surroundings during the day, as the tayra is mostly active in daylight and moves quickly between trees and on the ground.

Experience a rare moment as we catch a glimpse of the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). This majestic reptile appears near our lodge only on very exceptional occasions. The footage captures its characteristic wariness—at the slightest hint of human presence, it immediately seeks safety beneath the water's surface. It is a testament to how the human world at Sabalo Lodge sensitively intertwines with the wilderness, where animals find peace and their own natural space.

Where: This specific individual is occasionally found in the drainage canal behind Casa Mono or behind the work yard near the restaurant. During the day, it sometimes sunbathes near the bench behind Casa Mono, but it is extremely shy and disappears into the water at the slightest disturbance. On very rare occasions, it can be spotted near the bridge by the restaurant, drawn by the presence of turtles. For our guests, a sighting is a rare bonus rather than a daily rule.

Tip: Observation Insight: The movement of crocodiles around Sabalo Lodge is closely linked to the availability of their natural prey. Our guides have observed a fascinating connection: the presence of large crocodiles directly correlates with the local turtle population. When there is a high number of turtles in the lagoon and on the banks during a given season, these large crocodiles appear, finding a rich food source. As the number of turtles decreases (e.g., after their nesting season), the crocodiles naturally move further into the deeper branches of the mangroves. This cycle is a perfect demonstration of the dynamic balance of rainforest fauna. Why observe them with us? Safe Observation: Sabalo Lodge offers a unique opportunity to watch these reptiles from a safe distance directly from the lodge grounds or during mangrove boat tours. For Photographers: Crocodiles in our area are accustomed to the quiet movement of boats, allowing for detailed shots without disturbing their natural behavior. Scientific Potential: Monitoring the food cycles between crocodiles and turtles in this location is an ideal topic for field biological research.

Come to Sabalo Lodge and experience the wilderness that begins right at your doorstep.

Where: According to our observations, they appear primarily during May and June. You can most often spot them walking directly in front of our cameras on the yellow and red nature trails, which pass through the heart of our location.

Tip: Peccaries appear especially in May and June. They can be frequently seen walking in front of our cameras on the Yellow and Red nature trails of Sabalo Lodge. This seasonal activity offers an ideal window for those looking to document the pulse of the Pacific lowland jungle.
