Escape to the lush beauty of Costa Rica's cloud forest for a unique culinary retreat that combines nature, culture, and cuisine. Stay in a private cabina nestled in the heart of the cloud forest and wake up to a chorus of tropical birdsong.
Embark on breathtaking hikes to stunning waterfalls — and spend the afternoon with a fruity drink by the pool. We'll shop the bustling San Isidro Farmers Market and zip down to the popular surf town of Dominical for a day on the beach.
Evenings are a time for savoring the fruits of your culinary efforts while surrounded by the enchanting cloud forest. As the sun sets, the sounds of the forest come alive, creating a magical backdrop for your dining experience.

We will travel together by private shuttle starting at 9am on Wednesday, April 24, from SJO airport (and nearby hotels) to the gate of Finca Mia Retreat Center on Day One. Our 3.5-hour journey will take us up over the mountains and we will stop for lunch at a roadside cafe (keep a hoodie or light layer handy on the shuttle, it's chilly in the mountains!) After lunch, we will drive down into the bustling city of San Isidro del General before climbing the final leg to Finca Mia, at the foothills of Mt. Chirripo (Costa Rica's highest peak!)
We'll arrive with plenty of time for you to get settled in your Finca Mia cabina and explore the grounds before our Welcome & Orientation session and a delicious dinner beside the Talari River.
