A nature-inspired treatment using freshly picked native herbs, flowers and deep massage to heal and cleanse the body.

The chef’s garden at AltaGracia is a key component of connecting with the land. Providing produce and herbs used from the spa to cocktails to dinners, El Cultivo creates a deeper connection to provenance. Private dinners can be enjoyed within the garden – or select your morning fruit from the stand. Culinary workshops and foraging expeditions maximize the offering.

One of our best-loved experiences, a visit to Don Nery’s farm is a must for all guests of AltaGracia. Set off on horseback through the forest, over shallow rivers and through tall-grass fields until you arrive at the humble abode of Don Nery and his wife Doña Yamileth. This beautiful couple will welcome you arms wide open into their home and farm, where you’ll receive an immersive education on the local way of life, extracting sugarcane and mastering the technique of homemade tortillas. Their farm boasts a diverse collection of livestock - from cows and goats to bunnies, chicken and geese - making for a fantastic destination for couples and families alike. To truly embrace local Tico hospitality, enjoy breakfast or lunch around Nery’s family table. *For guests less comfortable on horseback, this experience can be reached by hike or by car in one of our refurbished Land Cruiser FJ40s.

An immersive experience in the daily life of a wrangler. Start with a traditional sabanero (cowboy) breakfast of ‘gallo pinto’ amongst the horses. Following breakfast, prepare your saddle to set out for a memorable experience wrangling cattle through the mountainous fields. Once your work is done, enjoy an adrenaline release as you ride through the open fields of these picturesque hills.

Private flights arrive directly into the resort's Pista, allowing you to immediately immerse yourself in our wellness, culinary and adventure experiences.
