Your nature
sanctuary
and adventure
60 hectares of regenerated forest where time stands still, the
senses awaken and the soul breathes.
A three-decade dream turned into a forest
More than 30 years ago, the Vargas Family acquired these lands on the border of Orotina and Garabito with a clear vision: to create a sanctuary where nature and well-being would intertwine in perfect harmony.
What used to be grazing lands and cattle pastures has been transformed today into a lush tropical forest teeming with life. Ancient trees, babbling brooks, howler monkeys, and scarlet macaws breathe life into every corner of this unique estate in Costa Rica.
Wellness Forest is more than just a destination. It is a mission: to provide a space where people can disconnect from the daily hustle and reconnect with what matters most — themselves.
