The group headed to Tamarindo in Guanacaste aka the golden coast on a private plane. After viewing the amazing pacific coastline from above it was time to jump on a boat andwatch some whales. The highlight was seeing a mother whale teaching its calf how to splash its tail to communicate with other whales.
After a 4.5 mile hike through Tenorio National Park the group arrived to the enchanting Río Celeste waterfall. The highlight of the day was visiting Las Pumas Rescue Centre and learning about all the amazing work the small charity is doing to rescue, rehabilitate and release pumas and other wildlife species.
A full day of adventure at Hacienda Guachipelín, the morning started with horse-riding down to the river where the group jumped on to tubes and took on the rapids. The highlight was floating down the river and taking in the natural beauty. After lunch it was time to zip line over the rapids as well as taking on the Tarzan swing.
The best way to get close to the Costa Rican wildlife is to explore the mangroves. The highlight was seeing howler monkeys and alligators in their natural habitat. For lunch thegroup headed to Hacienda El Viejo, an amazing hacienda with its own rum distillery.
Jumping in to Montezuma waterfall is an unforgettable experience. To get to Montezuma there is a small hike as the waterfall is hidden but it’s definitely worth the climb.
Santa Teresa embodies everything Pura Vida Wellness is about and it is home to some of the best surfing spots in all of Costa Rica. Latitude 10 is one of the best yoga retreats in the area and perfect location for the group to enjoy Pura Vida by the beach.
