Casa Cusinga: Housed inside the more modern-rugged Casa Cusinga, are a step back in time for the photographer who desires a more classic, old school expatriate experience inside a modern-designed, with a rustic-feeling Costa Rican mountainside home. Cusingas (see photo of bird in upper right of collage below), howler monkeys and toucans have all been photographed from the back deck of Casa Cusinga. No WiFi and no air conditioning. However, amazing wildlife has been photographed from here and the 17 foot-high ceilings, along with the ceiling fans, keep this home cool throughout the year.

All retreaters will have access to Casa Lapas where all workshops and meals will take place (except for special occasions and field trips). Casa Lapas will be stocked with fruits/snacks and drink throughout the week.

* NOTE: If you choose to bring a partner/spouse, they will be charged $950, regardless if they participate in any activities. This is due to the fact that all meals are eaten together and we don't want to exclude anyone (and we will not price out individual meals or activities). The group spends a considerable amount of time together and we need to ensure there is proper transportation space available.
