Chilamate Rainforest is a family run conservation and sustainable tourism project that was founded in 2007. Native Sarapiqueño Davis Azofeifa and Irish-Canadian Meghan Casey are the founders of Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat. They live on site with their three amazing children Lluvia, Aedan and Kiara who are an integral part of Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat. At Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat you will enjoy the riverfront and river adventures, a beautiful piece of private rainforest with an amazing array or wildlife, rustic lodgings in the rainforest, homemade organic food, a small private bar with beer and wine, a gift shop with local crafts, and a family friendly environment. Chilamate Rainforest eco Retreat was born out of the couples dream to work together on a project that would benefit the local community and also the critical section of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor where Davis and his family have traditionally lived. Chilamate is one of the richest parts of Costa Rica in terms of biological diversity yet one of the poorest areas in Costa Rica by economic standards, in most part because of the giant banana and pineapple plantations that dominate the region and the generally low paying and dangerous jobs they offer as well as the influx of struggling Nicaraguan migrant workers they attract. Meghan and Davis began to see their dreams come true in 2006, when they stumbled across the 55 acres of Sarapiqui Riverfront and lowland tropical rain forest property that is now Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat. The original owners had refused to sell to anyone that was not from Sarapiqui or anyone who was not committed 100% to continuing to preserve the area and were thrilled to meet Meghan and Davis and made it very easy for them to purchase, even though they never had the money to do so! The couple wrote proposals and sought out supporters and over the next few years they managed to build what is now Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat (CRER).
