Costa Rica Weekend Retreat

Join us for 5 days and 4 nights of adventure at Guayabo Animal Rescue (https://tinyurl.com/garcr), nestled in 300 acres of hill country in the shadow of the Miravailles volcano. Help care for the rescue’s dogs, goats, chickens and horses and explore the unbelievable nature that Costa Rica is known for. We'll hike to waterfalls, dip into hot springs, ride ATVs, and spend at Ocotal Beach - famous for it’s black sand.
