​Corazón del Rio is located in the Southern Pacific Region of Costa Rica in the town of Platanillo, approximately 1200 feet or 365 meters above sea level, where you can experience a dramatically different climate with quite cooler temperatures.
For example, air conditioners are not needed and on most nights a ceiling fan and a blanket are used only for comfort. Just a 15-minute drive down the paved scenic mountain road is the surf town of Dominical, and just up the coast is the beautiful long and white sand beach of Matapalo. The location is surrounded by many waterfalls and near by is Hacienda Baru which offers nature hikes and zip-lining.

Casa Corazón del Rio is a 4 acre parcel located at a 200+ acre Private
Biological Reserve with many mountains, rivers and waterfalls. Just a one minute walk from our casa, you can enjoy our cascading waterfall and swim hole. A private hike from our door to four beautiful waterfalls can be arranged with our neighbor and co-host Esteban (this is highly recommended). 

Even with the river, waterfall and swim hole just steps away, we brought the river into Casa
Corazón del Rio's living area. It flows nice during the rainy season, but doesn't get water in the
summer months. The sound and ability to sit with your feet in its water or your body ​in its
wading pool was a big addition to the feel and Pura Vida spirit we wanted for our guest to enjoy.
