The green season is a nice quite time for a yoga Retreat and it is the most vibrant time in the rainforest - the waterfalls are spectacular!

The Waterfall Villas are 500 meters above sea level where the mountains rise very quickly, and we are only 5 minutes drive from the beaches, yet we are far enough into the rainforest that our plant and animal diversity is stunning and exotic. Also the mosquito count is much lower than on the beach.

Cascadas Farallas Waterfalls and the Waterfall Villas are 3 miles on paved road from Dominicals famous surf beach, yet secluded, and also close to a wide variety restaurants and night life. The exotic southern pacific beaches extend all the way to the Osa peninsula and are within easy reach by the Pan American highway. This area is called the Costa Ballena or Whale Coast for the large number of migratory whales spotted here.

The Waterfall Villas is close to 5 National Parks. The Corcovado National Park and Cano Island are day trips. If Osa Peninsula or Manuel Antonio and Quepos are in your itinerary we are a perfect base.
