River & Mountain — Río Chirripó Lodge
Seven days at a boutique mountain lodge where the river meets the highest peak in Costa Rica
Seven days at a boutique mountain lodge where the river meets the highest peak in Costa Rica
Our most luxurious retreat. A week at Río Chirripó Lodge, a boutique mountain hotel nestled along the Chirripó River at the foot of Costa Rica's highest peak. Pool, jacuzzis, spa, panoramic yoga, conscious gastronomy, and over 300 species of birds outside your window.
Río Chirripó Lodge is not a retreat center. It is a boutique mountain hotel built for exactly this: slowing down in a place so beautiful it does the inner work for you.
The property sits along the Chirripó River, at the foot of Cerro Chirripó, the highest peak in Costa Rica. Every room has a private bathroom, a balcony with mountain views, and the sound of the river running through the night. There is a pool, jacuzzis, a professional spa, and a restaurant that turns local ingredients into something you will think about for months.
For seven days, the lodge is ours. Yoga each morning in the panoramic yoga room. Afternoons by the pool or hiking through the private Finca Talari reserve where you can swim in pristine rivers and spot quetzals. Evenings of conscious gastronomy, fire, and the kind of silence that only exists in the mountains.
This is the retreat for those who want depth and comfort in equal measure. No roughing it, no compromises. Just the mountains, the river, and the space to remember who you are when the noise stops.
Slow mornings, open afternoons, soft evenings.
The rhythm is gentle on purpose. Nothing is mandatory. The day flows around you, not the other way around.
You can do every session, or spend a whole afternoon in the hammock. Both are right.
Day by day
Every day has its own texture — arrival, depth, silence, expansion, integration. Here's what unfolds.
Day 1 — Arrival at the lodge
Arrive at Río Chirripó Lodge in the afternoon. Check into your room, explore the gardens, find the pool. Welcome circle on the terrace as the sun sets over the valley. Dinner at the restaurant and early rest with the sound of the river.
Day 2 — Grounding
First full day. Morning yoga with panoramic mountain views. After breakfast, a guided walk through the property and gardens. Afternoon by the pool and jacuzzis. Evening intention-setting circle by the fire.
Day 3 — Into the wild
Morning breathwork session. Guided hike through Finca Talari, the lodge’s private nature reserve. Swim in the Talari River. Birdwatching with a local guide: quetzals, toucans, tanagers. Afternoon spa treatment at Kumara. Cacao ceremony in the evening.
Day 4 — Gastronomy and culture
Morning yoga and meditation. Cooking workshop with the lodge chef: local ingredients, traditional techniques, seasonal flavors. Long communal lunch with what you prepared. Free afternoon. Sunset yin on the deck.
Day 5 — Stillness
A quieter day. Extended morning meditation overlooking the valley. Walking meditation through the forest trails. Silent meals at the restaurant. Gentle restorative yoga in the afternoon. Let the mountain do its work.

This retreat is for you if...
This retreat is for you if you want the depth of a transformational experience without giving up comfort.
If you want to meditate at sunrise and then spend the afternoon at the pool with a fresh juice. If you care about what you eat and you want a chef who cares too. If the idea of a spa treatment after a jungle hike sounds like exactly what your body is asking for.
No yoga experience needed. This is not an athletic retreat. It is a week of being held in one of the most beautiful places on earth, at your own pace, in your own way.
