Nestled just forty minutes from La Fortuna in a mountain valley near the gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park and the shores of Lake Arenal, Rancho Margot is the perfect escape from the routine and ritual of everyday life. Here, you’ll find personalized experiences to help you get in sync with nature’s pleasing harmony. Beyond an eco-resort, Rancho Margot is a burgeoning regenerative community. Our operations are designed to promote biodiversity and sequester carbon emissions. We constantly strive to find better ways to satisfy our needs without compromising the precious resources that will be needed for future generations. And with an unwavering commitment to education, it brings us true joy to introduce guests to the wonders of our world. Here on the ranch, “Pura Vida” (the pure life) takes on far greater meaning.

Schedule

Nourish your mind, body, and soul as you soak in the beauty and serenity of the Costa Rican rainforest. Our team will provide a sacred and special space for you to not only gain more clarity on your professional goals, but also to rest, think, laugh, and enjoy the natural gifts of the landscape. Harness the power of a jungle paradise to recenter yourself, pause the daily grind, and reconnect to yourself. Being in a different environment creates space for personal and professional clarity that our familiar surroundings sometimes cannot. Enjoy your stay in an off-the-grid farm and ecolodge. You'll enjoy a deluxe bungalow with a wrap-around terrace. Nourish yourself with three daily meals from the ranch’s chemical-free farm. Access natural rainforest trails, serene ponds, and enriching activities. For a detailed program overview, please visit the website's retreat overview page https://quantumleapcr.com/costa-rica-retreat/ Prior to our event in Costa Rica, you have the option to participate in a 6 week course to help you identify obstacles and learn tools that will prepare you for our retreat in Costa Rica.
