Off the Beaten Path

Marino Ballena National Park

Nauyaca Waterfalls

Hike through wild rainforest to the majestic 120ft Nauyaca Waterfalls. Some of Costa Rica's most spectacular falls, should you choose to let their powerful waters fall on your back or meditate in their shallows, at Nauyaca you'll truly appreciate the beauty of nature's design.

Boruca Immersion

Head into the mountains to the Boruca reservation, home to the 2,600 remaining members of the eponymous indigenous community. Spend the day with an artist's collective, trying your hand at painting the tribe's iconic masks, learning about their traditional textiles and delving into the surrounding nature on a waterfall hike or medicinal plant walk.
