There are several fine dining establishments within a short taxi ride from the hotel, your guide can offer suggestions as to the best restaurant for your budget and taste. The following morning you will be met in the lobby of the Cariari and taken to the airport for your 5:30A.M. commercial flight to Golfito and the Zancudo Lodge. This 45 minute flight takes you over some of the most breath taking scenery you will ever encounter, so be sure to have your camera handy. When you arrive into Golfito, you will be met and be transferred by boat to the Zancudo Lodge. After a quick breakfast, you are off for a full day of fishing. The next two days will also be full fishing days. On the morning of your fifth and last day, you will take an early flight back to San Jose to connect with your flight home.
The Accommodations:  The lodge is situated in a lush jungle setting as beautiful as any you will find in Costa Rica. Facing an estuary with the beautiful Golfo Dulce out the back door, this lodge presents terrific scenery in every direction. The lodge has twenty rooms each with its own private bath, ceiling fan and  air conditioning.  The meals are first class and abundant. The lodge boasts a swimming pool and jacuzzi. The camp manager and a great staff will make sure your stay is a pleasurable one. Trek has a proven winner in the Zancudo Lodge and their friendly, attentive staff.
 

The Fishing:  The numerous species in this region is the prime reason that the lodge is currently home to more than 50 world records. You will be fishing from 25-27 foot center console boats powered by Suzuki 4-stroke outboard motors. The boat captains have considerable experience in fishing this area. Your typical day will start with breakfast served by the lodge staff. Once you depart the dock you will make a short run to the numerous schools of blue runners and sardines which we will be using for bait. Each day your guide will outline the fishing itinerary for you with what he believes to be your best bet. You may spend the first day out in the blue water fishing for Sails and Marlin and then troll the coastlines the next day for Dorado and Roosterfish or possibly cast to the large schools of Jack Crevalle or Cubera Snapper. The next day you may be bottom bumping for Groupers, or Giant  Cubera Snapper. In addition to the above mentioned species, you are likely to also encounter Yellow-fin Tuna, Wahoo, Amberjack and Triple Tail. With all the fishing possibilities in the area, this is definitely a trip that begs for extra days... The lodge provides conventional fishing gear and they have even added 12 &14 wt. fly fishing rods to their inventory.
