Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resort Collection

Hacienda AltaGracia is a luxury hotel in the Auberge Resort Collection located in the southern mountain range of Perez Zeledon. A 35-minute charter flight or a 3 1/2-hour drive will bring you to the mountain retreat’s sprawling 850-acre highlands. The hacienda exemplifies Southern hospitality at its finest. Prepare to be catered to. Spoil yourself at Auberge Spa at Hacienda AltaGracia, Central America’s largest spa, or spend a day lounging at the pool with 360-degree panoramic views.

Equestrian Culture

In its past life, AltaGracia was a fully functioning hacienda. The family’s equestrian passion is still evident in the hacienda’s 28 oversized indoor stables, breeding horses, saddle room, and riding ring, the largest riding ring in Central America. But don’t let all the grandeur intimidate you. AltaGracia welcomes travelers with all levels of riding experience, including those who have never ridden before. Regardless of your experience level, book a guided tour for the full experience.

AltaGracia Activities

Horseback riding is a highlight at AltaGracia. In addition, visit Chirripo National Park or arrange a day trip to the Pacific coast for whale watching or hiking in Manuel Antonio National Park and relaxing on the beach. Ultra-light flight tours, mountain biking, yoga, birdwatching, ziplining, rafting, and hiking are also available from AltaGracia.
