Day Trips & Tailored Experiences

Farm & Coffee Plantation Tour

Tour our own on-site coffee plantation — grown and processed right on the property. Witness the full journey from cherry to cup, walk the food forest, and taste the freshest brews in the region.

Sunset Coastal Drive

Use our private 4x4 chauffeur service to reach the Pacific coast, stop at scenic lookouts, and end with a seaside dinner without dealing with the drive yourself.

Manuel Antonio National Park + Quepos Evening

Make a classic Pacific day of it: rainforest trails, wildlife spotting, and beach time inside Manuel Antonio, then a slow evening in Quepos for the marina, sunset views, and dinner by the water.

• MorningLeave Hacienda after breakfast and head for Manuel Antonio before the trails get busy.
• MiddayExplore the national park with time for monkeys, sloths, and a swim at one of its signature beaches.
• EveningShift north into Quepos for a marina stroll, ceviche, sunset cocktails, and a relaxed return to the mountains.

Hatillo Hot Springs + Playa Linda Coast Day

Slow the pace down with a warm-soak-and-sea day: start with rustic hot springs near Hatillo, then head west for a flexible beach loop that can include Playa Linda, Dominicalito, or Dominical depending on surf, weather, and how long you want to stay by the ocean.

• Late MorningHead out for a relaxed hot springs stop and an easy lunch before the coast opens up in front of you.
• AfternoonChoose a beach stretch like Playa Linda for a quieter walk, or keep going toward Dominical and Dominicalito for more cafes and surf energy.
• SunsetStay on the sand for golden hour, then return to Hacienda feeling like you fit both a spa day and a beach day into one trip.

Nauyaca Waterfalls + Downtown San Isidro

Mix one of the Southern Zone's signature waterfall outings with an easy urban stop afterward: hike or ride into Nauyaca, then come back through downtown San Isidro for the cathedral plaza, coffee, pastries, and a slower city-center stroll before returning to Hacienda.

• MorningLeave early for Nauyaca to beat the heat, with time for the trail, the falls, and a swim in the natural pools.
• AfternoonReturn through San Isidro for lunch, a walk past the cathedral, and a little downtown browsing around the plaza and nearby shops.
• EveningPick up coffee or pastries in town, then head back to Hacienda before dark with the feeling of having seen both the wild and everyday side of the region.

Pérez Zeledón Adventure Day: Zip Line + River Rafting

Build a higher-adrenaline day around the adventure operators in and around the Pérez Zeledón corridor: canopy lines through the hills in the morning, then river rafting in the afternoon on one of the nearby runs depending on water level, season, and guide availability.

• MorningStart with a canopy tour and zip lines through forested hills while the air is still cool and visibility is best.
• AfternoonSwitch gears to river rafting with local guides, with the final river choice depending on conditions and how technical you want the run to be.
• EveningFinish with a late lunch or early dinner back around San Isidro before returning to Hacienda tired in the best way.

Jacó Beach Hopping + Night Out

For a higher-energy coast day, head north and string together a few easy beach stops around Jacó, then stay through sunset for cocktails, live music, and a livelier nightlife scene before coming back to Hacienda.

• DaytimeChoose two or three beach stops based on surf and mood, from central Jacó to nearby Herradura, Mantas, or Playa Blanca.
• SunsetReset on the sand with a final swim or beachfront coffee as the sky turns gold over the Pacific.
• NightMove into town for bar hopping, casual bites, and live music before the drive back to the cooler mountain air.

Hacienda La Cascada

Hike or ride horseback to our sister property for more waterfalls and swimming holes. On the way, visit a traditional sugar cane mill where dulce is made the old-fashioned way — a rare cultural experience that only runs a few days each month, so check with us for availability.
