Cooled by an ever present breeze and framed by a unique dwarf forest, Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River is a sanctuary of well-being, and the true embodiment of Costa Rica’s legendary PURA VIDA.
Rio Perdido was designed to be in perfect harmony with its surroundings. Great care has been taken to preserve this one-of-a-kind setting and its precious resources, while simultaneously providing a very comfortable experience for Canise Retreats' conscious-minded guests.
You will enjoy swimming and volcanic mud body painting in the abundant, completely natural hot springs, along a kilometer of thermal gorge that cuts right through the spectacular, 1,500-acre reserve.
Witness a seemingly endless variety of exotic flora and fauna throughout 32 km of hiking trails. Enjoy zip-lining and white water tubing in the canyons of the Costa Rican forest. Adventure meets wellness when you savor true Costa Rican cuisine prepared by local culinary artists, experience yoga on our cliff-side pods, meditate alongside Rio Perdido, and receive intentional, healing, therapeutic touch.
Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River is nothing short of enchanting. We look forward to welcoming you.

You’ll be transported to Rio Perdido in the Guanacaste province, on the western side of the country. Even though the reserve is just an hour’s drive from Liberia, this rediscovered gem was once a sacred spot for the Cabecar tribes; people who recognized and harnessed the magic of the thermal gorge, hundreds of years ago.

Thermal Canyon and Springs
Our greatest treasure is Rio Perdido, which means "Lost River." You will find it in the center of our 1500-acre preserve. She is stunning and will offer you the chance to see and experience dozens of hot pools as you meander through her kilometer-long thermo-mineral gorge. The pristine setting in which she flows will elate and inspire you, providing you with a renewed sense of well-being. As the hot pools draw their energy from the deep magma flows, your spirit will do the same.
Medicinal Carbonated Springs
We will take a short walk across the canyon to the trail system's crossroads to find the naturally carbonated spring. Indulge in the natural water flowing from the spring with a long sip or many! The water will refresh you and perhaps more. The spring has been praised throughout history for its medicinal healing qualities.
Thermal Mineral Pools
At Rio Perdido, we enjoy providing our guests with options tailored to suit them. Our thermal pools surrounding our main building offer you a choice with varying temperatures. From deep beneath the Earth's surface, the gift of natural mineral water rises to greet you. This calming therapeutic experience is made possible by nature. From hot to warm to cooler water, we encourage you to go on your own search to find the pool that's just right for you.

Cliffside Yoga Pod
Wellness is not simply about counting calories and going for daily jogs. True wellness is found in everything that you do... or that you don't do. True wellness is about being able to live optimally without really having to put enormous effort into your actions. If your daily routine is a chore, it will not last... and if it did, well... you'd probably feel miserable; certainly not healthy.
While at Rio Perdido, guests are encouraged to try a variety of local fare, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Guests are encouraged to walk... to get a bit lost and absorb all that the forest affords us, from the amazing sights and sounds, to the clean air and pristine mineral water.
Thermal Mineral Pool
