The Sanctuary at Two Rivers
A wild homecoming beside the river
Getting here is part of the experience: after a scenic drive to the entrance-house base, the final approach is a river-crossing hike, while an ATV carries your luggage ahead. The Sanctuary at Two Rivers sits on a 40-acre jungle property above the Pacific, between rivers and waterfalls on the southern Nicoya Peninsula. Its retreats are created for women, with an emphasis on sisterhood and returning to the body through movement, breath, sound and womb-centered wisdom. The atmosphere is intimate and nature-led, with the jungle’s water and greenery setting a quieter pace for gathering and reflection. Three organic, plant-based meals are served daily, alongside wholesome snacks, and vegan options are available. A pool, spa, yoga studio and free Wi-Fi add practical comforts without taking the focus away from the landscape. Retreat schedules and lodging arrangements can vary, so check the details for your chosen dates before travelling.
