Wellness retreats in Costa Rica on a river in the rainforest.
A family-owned retreat sanctuary eight miles from Manuel Antonio. Every retreat here helps protect the rainforest and rivers that surround it.
A place to remember what the body already knows.
Posada Natura rests on the banks of the Naranjo River, within the biological corridor of the Cerro Nara mountains. Hand-built gathering spaces, riverfront casitas and tropical gardens sit at the edge of more than 10,000 acres of protected primary rainforest.
Our family co-stewards that land through Eco Era, a nonprofit founded in 1991. Retreats here keep that work alive.

"Just being on the grounds is deeply healing and a reminder of how powerful it is to be immersed in nature."
Celina De Leon, retreat leader
The retreat protects what holds the retreat.
Posada Natura is operated by Eco Era, a U.S. 501(c)(3) founded in 1991. Its protected lands span the Naranjo and Savegre watersheds and a vital rainforest corridor in the Cerro Nara mountains.
Posada is so obviously special… you enter the gates and there's a protective shield around you which enables freedom to explore the challenging things.
Grace Parker-Guerrero, guest
Come for the retreat. Leave protecting the rainforest.
Every retreat at Posada Natura directly funds Eco Era, the nonprofit protecting more than 10,000 acres of primary rainforest. Join a retreat on the Naranjo River, or bring your own community into the forest.
