In today’s fast-paced world, many people are looking for more than just a vacation—they’re seeking a true pause, a chance to slow down and reconnect with what really matters. At Hacienda Guachipelín, located next to Rincón de la Vieja National Park in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, that pause becomes a transformative experience.

Just one hour from Liberia International Airport, Hacienda Guachipelín is the ideal place for a natural reset—no need for extreme retreats or trendy rituals. Here, rest comes from walking through the forest, bathing in natural hot springs, eating clean, and reconnecting with the beauty of the dry tropical forest.

Relax in natural hot springs heated by the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano.

Each day begins with the sounds of birds and ends under a sky full of stars. You can safely explore scenic trails, visit crystal-clear waterfalls like the stunning Oropéndola, enjoy volcanic mud baths, and relax in our eco-lodges or luxury glamping tents overlooking the volcano.
