University of Georgia Ecolodge

San Luis is a rather unique community for it is divided into two sections: Upper and Lower San Luis. Upper San Luis boasts all the prime tourist attractions like zip lining across the cloud forest canopy, while Lower San Luis, offers humbling mountains and quaint farms that make up Monte Verde. To sum up, San Luis offers the best of two worlds.

The people of Monte Verde’s farms have strong belief in hard work and living what they call the Pura Vida. They don’t work to make a living, rather their work is their living. They take great pride in their work and the Ecolodge tries to share the farmers’ beliefs with anyone who will listen.
