The MOTM AVENTURERA Retreat in Costa Rica is a 6-day, 5-night immersion into one of Latin America’s most extraordinary countries—built around three pillars of the pura vida experience: adventure, cultural connection, and personal restoration. November is an ideal time to visit. As the green season winds down, the landscape is at its most lush—waterfalls full, wildlife active, and forests deeply vibrant. Crowds are minimal, creating a more intimate experience, and the warm temperatures are perfect for every activity. The retreat explores multiple dimensions of Costa Rica: outdoor adventures, cultural experiences with local communities and artisans, wellness rooted in the country’s volcanic and botanical resources, a dedicated self-care day, and evenings that foster meaningful sisterhood.
At the core is the MOTM Co-Guide Model. A U.S.-based guide ensures preparation, comfort, and clear communication, while a certified Costa Rican co-guide offers local expertise and relationships that deepen the experience. Together, they don’t just guide the trip—they open the country to you. MOTM’s safety-first approach is woven throughout: vetted accommodations, trusted transportation, airport transfers, daily briefings, and two fully present guides. In one of Central America’s safest countries, every detail is designed so you can focus fully on the experience.
