There’s so much to find delight in – with the excitement of different monkeys and birds, the soothing forest trails, and the refreshing pool and jacuzzi.

The Palo Vivo Reforestation Project

Beyond personal transformation, this retreat gives back to the natural beauty you’re getting to experience with the Palo Vivo reforestation project. The reforestation endeavor is not just about planting trees; it’s about nurturing life cycles and ensuring the survival of every sapling. 

The project’s unique approach involves close collaboration with the local community, especially the youth, to foster a sense of responsibility and care for the trees throughout their lifespan.

Get Up Close with Some of the Most Gorgeous Trees in the World, Strangler Figs

A highlight of this retreat is the exclusive opportunity to climb strangler fig trees with experts. These majestic trees, woven into the intricate fabric of the cloud forest, symbolize resilience and interconnectedness. 

We’ll get to ascend these giants, enjoying their sheer size and majesty in the rainforest. It’s a great bucket list adventure, and beyond that – an experience that can continue deepening your connection to nature and groundedness in the world and yourself.

In the heart of Costa Rica’s cloud forest, this retreat transcends the ordinary, offering a rare blend of self-discovery, ecological mindfulness, and the sheer joy of communing with nature.

Doors to the Wild Self: Costa Rica Cloud Forest Retreat promises not only a rejuvenating escape but also an opportunity to contribute to the thriving ecosystem through the Palo Vivo reforestation project.
