WTA longs to make sure our travelers have choices in the way they travel. We heard from several past travelers that they want off-the-beaten-path trips that will give them not only the Ease, Comfort & Style that we already provide but also relaxation, renewal, and restoration.

With that, we are excited to unveil…

DAY 2 – December 17 – We will enjoy a guided Mystic Hike. A time for intention and meditation. We’ll walk through a magical knot garden, hidden paths that embrace nature’s elements, and our delightful hummingbird garden as we focus on consciousness, happiness, and our higher purpose. Every day is earth day, and we will plant a tree and leave a living legacy in Costa Rica’s carbon offsetting forest to help bring back the Quetzal birds to the region.

DAY 3 – December 18 – Morning Organic Garden Visit. We will have the opportunity to become an organic farmer by waking up the chickens for their morning feeding and harvesting the still warm organic eggs used for breakfast. We can feed the hungry trout and help harvest farm fresh vegetables. Followed by a well-deserved Spa Day.
