Pura Vida Inclusive Vacation

Near Bagaces, Rio Perdido brings you into a landscape shaped by forest, rock and flowing water. Warm mineral waters meet the cooler Río Blanco deep within the canyons, creating natural grottos among river rocks and boulders. Elevated bungalows provide a comfortable forest retreat, while trails, mineral pools and panoramic restaurant views invite you to enjoy the surroundings between adventures. Three nights here give the inland landscape a place in your vacation, rather than making it a brief stop on the way to the beach.

The Canyon Canopy Zipline Adventure reveals that landscape from above. Its circuit combines zipline cables with a pendulum cable, Tarzan swing, challenge bridge and via ferrata climbing sections, bringing variety to the journey across Río Blanco’s canyon. The next day, White Water Tubing takes you down into the river corridor. Narrow rock walls frame stretches of floating water, slides and rapids, with opportunities to look for tropical birds and monkeys along the way. These two included outings provide distinctly different perspectives on Rio Perdido.

At Dreams Las Mareas, the week turns toward the Pacific. The El Jobo beachfront, tropical swimming pools and choice of restaurants and bars create a welcoming setting for three coastal nights. Your all-inclusive resort plan brings a different rhythm after the canyon adventures: time for the shore, a swim or a leisurely meal. Days five and six have no scheduled guided outing, leaving two full days to enjoy the palm-lined coast and resort at your own pace.

Together, the forest bungalow stay, two canyon adventures and all-inclusive beach retreat make this a complete vacation with a satisfying balance of activity and relaxation.
