DAY 1: ARRIVAL & TRANSFER TO HACIENDA ALTAGRACIA

Upon arrival at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), you will be warmly greeted by a dedicated VIP handler, who personally guides you through fast track and baggage claim to your private driver. From here, you are whisked toward the Talamanca Mountains, where your first ecosystem, The Countryside, awaits: a lush patchwork of coffee plantations and rural villages watched over by the mighty Turrialba Volcano.

DAY 2: WELLNESS & ADVENTURE EXPERIENCES AT ALTAGRACIA

A full day to explore Hacienda AltaGracia's wealth of experiences. Choose from a guided Nature Awakening walk, a Nocturnal Wildlife Adventure, or The Well's holistic rituals like the River Bath. For more adrenaline, options include electric mountain biking, ziplining, and a full day of white water rafting and cultural immersion.

DAY 3: TRANSFER BY CHARTER FLIGHT TO ORIGINS FLORAL LODGE

Continue the adventure aboard an intimate 12 seater Cessna Grand Caravan, a scenic aerial passage in its own right. A short transfer takes you from Hacienda AltaGracia to the airstrip, then it's on to Upala, where a private driver awaits to bring you to Origins Floral Lodge, deep in the Land of Fire.

DAY 4: ENCOUNTERS OF THE WILD: THE SLOTH AND TAPIR

A morning at leisure gives way to an afternoon adventure in search of two beloved creatures. A gentle trail leads past crystalline springs where three toed sloths nap in the treetops, before continuing on in search of tapir, Central America's largest mammal, while learning about ongoing conservation efforts to protect this endangered species.

DAY 5: PRIVATE RAFTING, TENORIO RIVER

Navigate the heart pounding rapids of the Tenorio River on a private, full day rafting excursion. This crystal clear river winds nearly 20 kilometers through deep canyons, offering a blend of Class III and IV rapids, waterfalls, and calm pools where wildlife often appears. No prior experience is required; a hearty lunch awaits once you're back on dry land.

DAY 6: WATERFALL IMMERSION BY HELICOPTER

Take to the skies for a helicopter adventure over the Land of Fire, soaring above forests, rivers, and smoking volcanic craters. Touch down beside a private property and walk to a spectacular waterfall, where you'll rappel down the cliff face alongside expert guides to a plunge pool below. A private chef prepares lunch before you board the helicopter once more, this time bound for the coast and your final ecosystem, Ocean Playground.

DAY 7: OCEAN ODYSSEY CATAMARAN EXCURSION

The shimmering waters of the Gulf of Papagayo teem with marine life, from playful dolphins to migrating whales. Aboard a luxury catamaran, leave the coastline behind on a half day expedition, trying your hand at wakeboarding or subwing with expert hosts, before dropping anchor in a secluded bay to relax on a stretch of sand all your own.

DAY 8: DAY AT LEISURE

A day entirely your own in Costa Rica's Ocean Playground. Take your time over breakfast, sink into a good book by the infinity pool, or wander down to your private stretch of beach. However you choose to spend it, be sure to close with a stunning Pacific sunset.

DAY 9: DEPARTURE VIA GUANACASTE AIRPORT

After a final morning in paradise, your private driver transfers you to Guanacaste Airport (LIR), in perfect time for check in as your Costa Rican journey draws to a gentle close. Pura Vida!

Looking out over Lake Nicaragua and the volcanoes that flank it, the seven boutique bungalows each have a fire heated tub on the terrace, while the three bedroom Vertigo Lodge is suspended high in the forest canopy. Farm to table cuisine and a secluded yoga shala complete this sanctuary.

Casa Jade (Ocean Playground)

Overlooking the calm waters of the Gulf of Papagayo, Casa Jade is a modernist masterpiece full of natural light, its five bedrooms flowing seamlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces. Guests enjoy direct access to a private stretch of sand and an expansive infinity pool, set within the gated community of Peninsula Papagayo.
