Excursion Opportunities!
One of Costa Rica’s most popular destinations, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, near the Poas Volcano, offers five stunning waterfalls and 3.5 kilometers of walking trails that wind past the country’s largest Animal Sanctuary and Butterfly Observatory, through gardens swarming with vivid hummingbirds, to the cloud forest, ending in sweeping views of the waterfalls.
The La Paz Waterfall is a breathtaking wonder, a place where nature's power and beauty converge to create a deeply sacred experience. As the cascade rushes over ancient rocks, surrounded by lush rainforest, the sound and mist envelop you, awakening a profound sense of connection. Standing before its awe-inspiring energy, you can feel the waterfall's invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner self—leaving you renewed and grounded in the natural world’s sacred beauty.
This excursion is not included in the retreat package, but Ketamine Retreat guests are encouraged to add it to their Costa Rican experience! It won't conflict with any part of our retreat schedule.
