"A mountain retreat in Costa Rica’s Talamanca range that emphasizes authentic local connections and personalized service — guests are met with experiences ranging from a private Cessna journey (or car transfer) to vintage on-site Land Cruisers and a personal 'Compa' experience designer who curates wellness, dining, adventure, and exploration. Dining on property is described as sophisticated and elegant, and The Well at AltaGracia spa is lauded as phenomenally beautiful; signature offerings include coffee plantation tours, butterfly garden visits, waterfall adventures, equine healing, horseback riding, and a high canopy tree net with a tree hammock atop a 100-foot tree for birdwatching and rainforest views. Bookings include meals and non-alcoholic beverages, daily adventure and wellness programming, shared charter flights to and from SJO for two persons, and the Compa service; some excursions and special meals may cost extra." - Amanda Eyre Ward Amanda Eyre Ward Amanda Eyre Ward is a New York Times-bestselling novelist whose novel THE JETSETTERS was a Reese's Book Club pick.
