COSTA RICA 

February 5-12 2022
Blend a spa-like atmosphere with lush mountainside views as well as the sound of soothing river waves and you've just dreamed up your next enchanting art escape.
YOUR SERENE MOUNTAIN RETREAT

Awaken all of your senses in one of Costa Rica's most serene and pure surroundings. Discover an enchanting haven at the base of the famous Chirripó Mountain considered the highest peak in all of the country. Let your creativity run wild as you experience the immense beauty that surrounds you. Lush tropical flowers, flowing rivers and green mountain tops that touch the bright blue skies. Together with your teacher, you will explore this artist paradise and take time to really delve into your own artwork. 

Paint, photograph or draw your heart away in the Secret Gardens teeming with wild tropical flowers. Take a stroll through the Cloudbridge Reserve to the base of an impressive waterfall. Learn new painting techniques through fun Art Ateliers and Plein Air outings with Gail, your fab pastel teacher. You even have the option to head to the Pacific Coast for the day and enjoy the endless beaches and warm waters of the Ballena National Park, home to the famous whale’s tail. These are but a few of the exciting adventures that await you on this unique art escape!

YOUR STAY + FOOD

Head to the heart of the Talamanca Mountain Range located in the south central portion of Costa Rica. It is here, nestled between wooded hills and the flowing Chirripó River that you will find Rio Chirripo Lodge, a refuge from the pressures of a busy world, a place of refreshment for mind, body and soul.   

Indulge in healthy garden to table meals incorporating a wide selection of locally sourced fresh organic ingredients, providing a culinary experience that will nourish, satisfy and make your Costa Rican art escape as perfect as nature intended.
