Find Your Flow: Adventure Meets Wellness in Costa Rica

Wellness tourism has been a popular term in the travel industry for a few years now. In Costa Rica we’ve offered wellness tourism since visitors started coming to our lush tropical paradise. In fact, you might say Costa Rica invented wellness tourism.

Wellness comes in many forms. For some people the best way to ease stress and tension is through yoga, meditation, massage or other modes of relaxation. Then you have the adventure people. They find a release for their stress through physical pursuits like hiking or even zip lining. Both promote wellness through stress-busting thanks to the release of those detoxifying endorphins.

When you step away from the day-to-day hustle at home it might take a day or two but you already begin to feel your shoulders loosen, your muscles unclench and even your facial features relax a bit. If your destination is Costa Rica it probably won’t take any time at all to feel the stress ebb away and you begin to find your flow.

Finding your flow looks different for everyone. Just like wellness pursuits some may find it in passive or low key stress-releasing ways others may yearn for adventure, walking new paths, seeing one-of-a-kind sites and taking in stunning vistas. Most of our guests at Blue River Resort and Hot Springs find their flow when adventure meets wellness.

Awaken to the tropical sounds of the rainforest just beyond your cabana. Enjoy a morning meditation as you sit on your balcony or enjoy a cup of our excellent coffee and take in your surroundings. Recline in your hammock and ease into your morning.

Next, perhaps a morning yoga session? Gently push your body to enhance your physical wellbeing. Flex and stretch your muscles and feel yourself become more centered, grounded and whole. At Blue River our yoga classes combine different disciplines while easing you into an holistic experience. Through breathwork, meditation, relaxation and vibration your body and soul reconnect in a wellness reunion.

Let your mindfulness lead you to a healthy and nutritious breakfast before you join one of our hiking tours. Our Grand Waterfall Hike Adventure leads you through some of our local culture and brings you to our stunning Grand Waterfalls. You can swim in the mineral-filled blue water, go down the natural water slides and take in the exotic plans and birds who call this rainforest home.

Our other hikes are equally as soul-stirring. Hike into the breathtaking Cathedral Waterfalls, take a walk through a private jungle reserve but watch out for falling fruit. Our howler monkeys can be quite sassy. Our Laguna Serena hike-on-horseback is another great opportunity to take in the beauty of Costa Rica.

Up for more adventure? Blue River Resort has what you want. White-water tubing on the Blue River provides the adrenaline rush every fit adult craves. Zip-lining gives you the opportunity to rise high above the trees for some really amazing views you wouldn’t see otherwise. Take a snorkeling tour and discover another world deep beneath the water.

After your adventures indulge in our spa services. We offer massage (Swedish, Hot Stone and Deep Tissue), reflexology, Volcanic mud masks and facials and natural mud baths, a Costa Rican tradition. Enjoy sound therapy, ease into the hot springs and luxuriate in your somewhat-surreal surroundings.

Adventure really does meet wellness at Blue River Resort. You’ll renew your mind, body and spirit as you enjoy our one-of-a-kind opportunities to leave the stress behind.
