Walking a rainforest path at Tabacón, Costa Rica

Escape by moodJungle

Treehouse stays, waterfalls and wildlife at breakfast.

For the adventurous side of slow travel: hanging bridges above the canopy, waterfalls you can swim under, turquoise rivers and rainforest hideaways that make the early wake-ups worth it. Most of our jungle escapes are in Costa Rica, around La Fortuna and Río Celeste.
