Jewel of the Rainforest: Finca Luna Nueva

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Dec. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- New website features the stunning photography of renowned herbalist and photographer Steven Foster, along with expanded listings for tours, workshops and retreats.

Finca Luna Nueva, located in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest near the Arenal Volcano – one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet – is opening itself up to the world via a new website and expanded lodge and event offerings.

Named one of Costa Rica's Top 10 Affordable Eco-lodges by The Guardian, and also one of the 10 Best Eco Lodges in Costa Rica by Rough Guides, Finca Luna Nueva's incredible scenery, spread over 207 acres of pristine rainforest and organic, biodynamic farmland, is best reflected in the photography of renowned herbalist and photographer Steven Foster, featured on Finca Luna Nueva's home page at www.FincaLunaNuevaLodge.com.

A combination paradise retreat, living classroom and farm-to-table experience, Finca Luna Nueva is a place where individuals, couples, families and groups can vacation, have fun, enjoy meetings and retreats, eat healthy organic meals, and also learn about the diverse and abundant flora and fauna of Costa Rica, much of which can be seen on miles of nearby hiking trails through rainforest, farmland and herbal gardens. With 60% of Finca Luna Nueva's 207 acres preserved as a primary rainforest eco-system, toucans, three-toed sloths, and other colorful wildlife of the tropics are literally right out your doorstep.

In addition to providing 15 clean, comfortable bungalows and rooms, a conference center, an on-site spa, yoga pavilion, and organic restaurant, Finca Luna Nueva is a working farm, Certified Biodynamic by the world-renowned Demeter Association. Guests at Luna Nueva benefit directly from the food grown on the farm – much of it is served in the lodge's on-site restaurant.

Plus, through on-site tours and workshops, listed on the new website, interested visitors can learn about promoting a healthy ecosystem by practicing organic, regenerative agriculture methods that can not only feed the world, but also sequester enough carbon in healthy organic soils to literally help cool the planet.

"Finca Luna Nueva is an expression of my devotion to farming and biodiversity. In a deep sense, it is my life's work. Here at Luna Nueva we practice 'regenerative agriculture,' which means we produce nourishing foods while also regenerating soil and reversing climate change. We are also proud to be certified Biodynamic under the Demeter program, the most exacting system of organic certification," says Finca Luna Nueva cofounder Steven Farrell.

Additional photography for the new website was contributed by Finca Luna Nueva cofounder Tom Newmark, HerbalGram Creative Director Matthew Magruder, and other staff at the lodge. The website's blog, "Our Journal" covers life at the lodge in beautiful photography and storytelling, from growing and learning how to make chocolate to tracking the welfare of a mother three-toed sloth and her new baby near the reception area of the eco-lodge.

Finca Luna Nueva, located about two hours north of Costa Rica's capital of San José in the country's central highlands near the Arenal Volcano near La Fortuna, is rated four and a half stars on Trip Adviser, from which it was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for the last four years in a row, with 432 reviews available here.
