The spa focuses on holistic therapies inspired by Costa Rica’s natural ingredients and traditions, while the geothermal river provides one of the most unique natural wellness experiences in Central America. Between adventures, guests can unwind in the infinity pool overlooking the canyon or simply relax on the terrace of their private bungalow surrounded by the sounds of the forest.
