Cloud Forest Culinary Retreat in Costa Rica

Escape to the lush beauty of Costa Rica's cloud forest for a unique culinary retreat that combines nature, culture, and cuisine.

Stay in a private cabina nestled in the heart of the cloud forest and wake up to a chorus of tropical birdsong.

Embark on breathtaking hikes to stunning waterfalls — and spend the afternoon with a fruity drink by the pool. We'll shop the bustling San Isidro Farmers Market and zip down to the popular surf town of Dominical for a day on the beach.

Evenings are a time for savoring the fruits of your culinary efforts while surrounded by the enchanting cloud forest. As the sun sets, the sounds of the forest come alive, creating a magical backdrop for your dining experience.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

★★★★★
Tremendous experience! This retreat should be a bucket-list item for all who are adventurous and enjoy experiencing authentic travel.
Bill K., Salem OR
★★★★★
I can't imagine a better travel retreat than the two I've been on so far with HYCH — Costa Rica and Tuscany. I love traveling with smaller groups as well as the amount of free time we had to do things on our own. Nothing was ever rushed or exhausting. And cooking with Chef Matt is an experience no one should miss — I'll definitely go on all future retreats with them that I'm able to!
Kris H., Salem OR
★★★★★
Finca Mia is an absolutely beautiful place to hold a retreat and Matt and Catharine are the perfect hosts — kind, attentive, and best of all, fun! This was the perfect way to experience Costa Rica for the first time, and now I know how to make hot sauce!
Gail D., Vancouver WA
★★★★★
Cat and Matt are AMAZING! Fantastic communication at all times. I felt completely prepared and stress-free because I knew HYCH would be there to help with any issues I didn't anticipate that might have come up.
Jason R., Newark NJ
