The 2 of us just finished a week at Saladero, and it was without question a very unique experience which quenched our thirst for peace, relaxation, adventure and immersion in the best of what nature has to offer. The experience started on the initial boat ride from Puerto Jimenez airport to the lodge on the other, undeveloped side of Golfo Dulce, as we were able to see large schools of feeding fish and a beautiful dolphin swimming alongside the boat. 25 minutes later we were there, in paradise. We stayed in the bungalow, which was close to the beach house where all the wonderful, healthy meals are served, and it was very cozy and comfortable, with its own bathroom, attached outdoor shower, and lighting. It was surrounded by lush gardens, and was also right next to the edge of the rainforest. It was nice to be so close to the dining area, the gulf, and the jungle! The best part for me, other than the incredibly beautiful and peaceful atmosphere and scenery, were the daily hikes we did up into the rainforest, and the hours spent each day swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding or boating in the magnificent Golfo Dulce and the nearby river where we toured red and white mangroves via boat, kayak. The wildlife we encountered on the trip was stunning. All manner of birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and insects. We could feel the energy from the land, the sea and the animals, and we will never forget it. Last but not least, the staff were friendly, informative, fun, and engaging. It is a spiritual place, and when we left we were changed by the experience. Thank you Saladero. Pete and Jerrilynn…
