The Culinary Experience
SOURCING & FLAVORS:
Ingredients not grown on-site are sourced from
local farmers, fishermen, and artisans. The menu
features traditional Costa Rican dishes — like
Fresh handmade gallos with their house chili —
alongside international options with regional flavor.
Mineral-rich locally sourced water, naturally filtered
on the property, is served with every meal.
At Rio Perdido, every meal is an integral part of the retreat journey — a time to gather, connect, and slow down.
LA HUERTA: FROM GARDEN TO PLATE
A key part of their food philosophy is La Huerta,
the on-site organic mandala garden. More than a
source of ingredients, it’s a living part of the retreat.
With over 50 medicinal herbs and vegetables —
including butterfly pea, yerba mate, Mexican
thistle, and citronella — the garden brings local
plants into daily meals and infusions. Two hives of
indigenous bees produce small-batch medicinal
honey.
