Movement becomes part of the retreat experience as you embark on guided hikes alongside the warm Pacuare River. Experience the beauty of the rainforest where you can see toucans, iguanas and hear howler monkeys. Some hikes can also be done independently, with a trails on the hotel grounds in La Fortuna and at Rios Lodge.

Rafting, Zip-Lines and Tubing

You have the opportunity to raft into Rios EcoLodge on some Class II/III rapids, and out, as part of the experience. (You can hike 30-45 minutes instead if you prefer, and your luggage will be brought in by raft). There are no roads to the lodge; the only way to get to there is by rafting, hiking or helicopter. The Pacuare River is known world-wide for its rafting due to its stunning landscape. It is one of the wild rivers in Costa Rica that has not been dammed for hydropower, and efforts are in place to protect it.

Also included in this retreat is a seven-course guided zip-lining experience at Rios, as well as the opportunity to tube down some smaller rapids (with a guide) and swim in rainforest waterfall pools.

Experience the stunning landscapes of Costa Rica while finding some perfect opportunities to step out of your comfort zone!
