PURA VIDA

On the 15th of September 2023, Costa Rica came alive with patriotic fervor as the nation celebrated its Independence Day. This annual celebration marks a significant moment in Costa Rican history when the Central American country shook off the Spanish colonial rule. At Botánika, nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s lush landscapes, the day was commemorated in style, embracing the rich cultural heritage that defines this vibrant nation.

Nestled within the heart of the jungle, Botánika Hotel Resort offers more than just luxury; it provides an exhilarating fitness experience known as The Jungle Gym. With stunning jungle views, top-tier equipment, a unique partnership with GORUCK, and a beautiful new wall art painted by a local artist, this gym is truly one of a kind.

Our resort has recently taken a step towards fostering local talent by partnering with a nearby technical college. This collaboration has led to the integration of 18 bright and eager students into the resort’s operations for internships lasting from two weeks to a month.
