Where to visit
Rejuvenation awaits you in Costa Rica, where breathtaking beauty and serene surroundings encourage a connection with Mother Earth. It’s known as the peaceful soul of Central America, where “pura vida” is a way of life. The commonly used phrase expresses happiness, living life to the fullest, and greetings like “hello” and “goodbye.” When you explore the natural scenery of Guanacaste and lay eyes on flowing waterfalls, misty cloud forests, and countless species of wildlife like monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds, you’ll be saying it too.
Along Mexico’s Baja Peninsula lies Los Cabos. With spectacular arching stone cliffs, white sand beaches, and the shimmering Sea of Cortez, it’s a picturesque backdrop for a relaxing retreat. Cabo is famous for its outstanding spas, tempting pools, and gastronomy scene. Explore some of what the area offers with a horseback ride on the beach, whale-watching, or snorkel tour, all within reach from the resort area.
Where to stay

You can also find therapeutic mud baths, which help detoxify the skin and relieve sore muscles and joints. These natural outdoor spa experiences will make you feel rejuvenated inside and out.
