Finca Las Hormigas
Let the jungle set the pace
On Costa Rica’s Caribbean side, retreat time here begins with the land: Finca Las Hormigas is an organic permaculture farm near Puerto Viejo, surrounded by jungle and shaped by a simpler, nature-led pace. Rather than presenting a named meditation lineage or a tightly choreographed program, the farm invites guests to step back from everyday noise and make room for personal reflection. The appeal is less about a packaged retreat formula than the chance to spend time in a farm landscape, notice its rhythms, and reconnect with the outdoors. It may suit travelers who value rustic simplicity and a flexible pace over a highly structured timetable. Finca Las Hormigas is a paid retreat, though exact rates and what a stay includes should be confirmed with the host. Ask about current dates, lodging arrangements, and practical details before traveling.
