Unique Luxury: You won’t have to venture too far from Liberia Airport to feel a world removed in these off-the-beaten-path, plush hotels. Spend your first three nights deep in the tropical dry forest in a luxurious private bungalow overlooking the Rio Perdido (the Lost River). After three days of enjoying the thermal hot spring river along with hiking, biking, river tubing, and zip-lining within Rio Perdido’s 600-acre “playground”, we’ll take you to the luxurious Andaz Papagayo. While on the Unique Luxury vacation package you can spend your days lounging on the beach, sipping on creative cocktails in two infinity pools, golfing a championship course, splurging on holistic spa treatments, or partaking in numerous rotating activities around the resort. At both locations there’s plenty to do on site to keep you busy everyday of your vacation or enjoy doing nothing at all!

Day 1
Fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR). Outside the airport you’ll find your private driver holding a sign with your name on it. He/she will help you with your luggage and drive you an hour to Bagaces for your stay at Rio Perdido. Your stay at Rio Perdido or “Lost River” is located on a 600-acre private reserve. Eight natural springs spew 400 gallons of mineral water per minute into the Rio Perdido, allowing guests to experience 100% natural mineral springs as this hot spring water mixes with the cooler jungle river. Check into your bungalow and enjoy a refreshing welcome drink in the swim-up bar. Enjoy dinner under the stars on the Floating Platform located 160 feet above the river.

Day 2
Today, the 600-acre private reserve becomes your adventure playground! After breakfast, enjoy a short or long hike through the tropical dry forest to panoramic vistas. Intermediate to experienced mountain bikers will enjoy singletrack segments ranging in distance from 8km to over 20km. These tracks pass by two waterfalls, a home that dates back to Costa Rica’s colonial period, a cave, and a naturally carbonated spring that is believed to have medicinal qualities. Return to Rio Perdido for lunch and a soak in the thermal spring river. Enjoy an afternoon or sunset massage or opt for volcanic mud painting with your partner just off Rio Perdido.
