Exploring Lake Rio Cuarto: The Deepest Lake in Costa Rica

November 5, 2025 by A Couple for the RoadLeave a Comment

Lake Rio Cuarto is the deepest lake in Costa Rica and truly a hidden gem. I haven't seen pictures or heard of this place prior to me visiting. Most tourists never end up here, unless they stay at the exact same eco lodge I stayed at, Hotel Del Bosque. They arrange all the tours on this lake and carry people to and from the hotel and the lake. We already rented a car for the duration of our trip and we just drove there ourselves. If you'd like to … [Read more...]
