As the first sister property of Chachagua Rainforest Resort & Hot Springs, it brings together local knowledge, personalized service, and a growing commitment to reforestation and the natural environment.

Together, the two properties create more ways to experience this extraordinary part of Costa Rica, from deeper immersion in the rainforest to volcano landscapes, hot springs, waterfalls, wildlife, and adventure.
