Depth
There is nothing in Costa Rica like this. No road leads here. No resort offers this. What you find in this forest — you cannot find anywhere else on the isthmus, and you will not leave unchanged.
REMOTE
No cell service. No roads. No rescue within the hour. You are deep inside 798 acres of primary jungle.
DIFFICULT
River crossings, steep terrain, long miles. You will push harder than you expect and feel more alive for it.
WORTH IT
Guests return changed. The jungle strips everything unnecessary and gives back something essential — every time.
OVERNIGHT IMMERSION
01
4 Days / 3 Nights
FULL EXPEDITION · MOST POPULAR
The complete La Danta Salvaje experience. Three nights deep in 798 acres of primary rainforest, sharing a boundary with Braulio Carrillo National Park. You will hike into the reserve on foot — no roads, no shortcuts — cross rivers, sleep under the canopy, and trek to the top of La Danta waterfall.
Guided 2+ km rainforest entry hike with river crossings
Three nights at La Casona base camp
Full waterfall expedition — swim in natural stone pools
Deep river basin descent and jungle trail network
All meals prepared at camp
Small-group, conservation-focused
This is not a resort. The terrain is steep, the rivers run fast, and the trail does not forgive distraction. You will carry your own pack. You will get wet. You will be tested.

OVERNIGHT IMMERSION
02
3 Days / 2 Nights
WILDERNESS ESCAPE · QUICK ESCAPE
Two nights in the deep reserve. You arrive on foot, sleep in the jungle, and wake up to a forest that has no awareness of the outside world. A condensed but no less demanding version of the full expedition — every river crossing, every ridge, every moment of stillness is real.
Guided entry through primary forest with river crossings
Two nights at La Casona base camp
Waterfall and river basin access
Jungle trail exploration
All meals included
Suitable for those with limited time, not limited ambition
Shorter in duration, identical in intensity. The jungle does not offer a beginner mode. If you are not comfortable with physical challenge and genuine remoteness, this is not for you.

DAWN TO DUSK · $80 PER PERSON
A single day inside the reserve — from 7 AM until 4 PM. You will hike in with a guide along the 3-kilometer border shared with Braulio Carrillo National Park, cross flowing rivers through untouched jungle, encounter wildlife that has rarely seen a human face, swim in the waterhole carved by centuries of water and stone, and reach La Ventana for a view of La Danta that almost no one has ever stood in front of. Back before dark.

Swimming in the hidden waterhole

A FINAL WORD
You will find a new you
in this forest —
or you won't come back the same.
Every guest who has walked into La Danta Salvaje has said the same thing on the way out: they didn't expect it to be this hard, and they didn't expect it to matter this much. There is nothing like this in Costa Rica.
