Upon landing in San Jose, your host will assist you in boarding a small private flight to Lapa Rios, your home for the next 4 nights. The property is considered a National Geographic Unique Lodge because it protects 1000 acres of tropical lowland rain forest in the Corcovado National Park. It is in this utopia that you will encounter frogs, endangered monkeys and over 300 bird species. After an introductory walking tour of the eco-property, we enjoy a welcome dinner, paired with wine.
We begin the day with an optional morning yoga session, and after breakfast, visit the Corcovado National Park, accompanied by a local certified nature guide. The park stretches along the south-western Osa Peninsula and is known as the crown jewel of Costa Rica. Commonly labeled “the most biologically intense place on Earth," Osa is home to nearly all of the mammal species endemic to the region, as well as an abundance of birds, reptiles and insects. We enjoy lunch on the beach and dinner at the lodge.
After our morning ritual of yoga and breakfast, embrace the surreal beauty of the property at leisure. In the afternoon we visit the beach for optional surf lessons. The long-breaking and gentle waves will certainly enhance your experience. For guests wanting a different kind of adventure: zip-lining, horseback riding and sport fishing will be on offer. After the exhilaration, dinner prepared by our local chef, will be served at the lodge.
We have an early start today, in order to explore all of the areas surrounding the Osa Peninsula. Drake Bay is first on the list, a majestic marine hot spot, where five different species of dolphins play and feed their young. We move on to the famous Cano Island Biological Reserve where we enjoy lunch before an optional dive or snorkel with bottle-nosed dolphins, turtles and vibrant tropical reef fish. Sunset yoga and dinner will be enjoyed at the lodge.
After morning yoga and breakfast, we bid farewell to the rain forest and embark on an expedition to the volcanoes and hot springs. Following a swift flight and a road transfer, we arrive at our luxury accommodation in Arenal, where we spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Enjoy a complimentary spa treatment or a private optional yoga session. Dinner will be at leisure.

After breakfast, we make our way to the Arenal Volcano Park, where we delight in the ornate landscape as we explore the lava trails. Enjoy a natural spa experience at the Tabacon Hot Springs and leisurely explore your surroundings before lunch. We return to the property for a restorative yoga session nestled in the jungle. Dinner will be at leisure.
After breakfast, we adventure to Tenorio National Park to experience the splendor of the panoramas and natural wonders as we hike the Rio Celeste. We then enjoy a languorous lunch and journey back to Nayara, where we relax with a sunset yoga session. In the evening, we hold a farewell dinner paired with lovely wines in a special location on property.
After optional morning yoga and farewells, we transfer you to the Liberia airport. Or, you could extend your stay and visit neighboring Panama and Nicaragua for further enjoyment and adventure. Why not have one of our experts assist you in making this extension a reality?
