Welcome to Rio Perdido
Rio Perdido ("Lost River") is an off-the-beaten-track, 32-bedroom boutique hotel located in the heart of Guanacaste province, just an hour and a half from the Guanacaste International Airport in Liberia.
It's one of the most unique hotels in Costa Rica, offering an irresistible, off-the-beaten-path experience that blends wellness and adrenaline adventure.
With a thermal river, hot springs, mud baths, healing waters, zip-lining, mountain biking, hiking, tubing, and more, Rio Perdido is a must-do for adventure lovers.
Remoteness
Sitting in a hidden river valley surrounded by lush forest in the remote corner of Guanacaste, Rio Perdido is one of Costa Rica's more unique properties.
It sits on a private 600-acre tropical dry forest reserve, surrounding a 200-foot canyon where the cool waters of the Rio Blanco merge with the hot, thermal waters of the Rio Perdido. The Rio Perdido - the Lost River - is a magical place.
Once you arrive, you'll see how the property is connected by a system of bridges. The lobby, restaurant, and bar is in a beautifully designed open plan area with views of the mountains and forest around you.
The 30 rooms are free-standing bungalows on stilts nestled in the trees with modern furnishings. Large windows on half of the bungalow give you a view of the tropical dry forest, with a private porch.
Each room has a minibar, en suite bathroom, TV, A/C unit, and daybed. Local and international calls are complimentary when made from the lobby, as is the WiFi connection. Breakfast is included—a la carte if occupancy is 50 guests or less, or buffet when occupancy is more than 51 guests.
