Land of Senses & Magical Rainforest
Sensoria, owned by the Madrigal-Beck family from Costa Rica, is a small business dedicated to protecting the rainforest on our property. Since opening to tourism in 2013, we have aimed to share the beauty of this unique ecosystem while preserving its integrity. We utilize only 1% of our land for tourism, ensuring that the majority remains a sanctuary for wildlife, especially as we neighbor the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that boasts 6% of the world's biodiversity.
Sensoria is committed to sustainability, operating under the CST Elite certification, the highest designation in Costa Rica. We generate our own energy through waterfalls and solar panels, making us a government-approved, off-the-grid operation. Our conservation efforts include programs like the “Jaguar Program," which focuses on research and protection for jaguars and other wild cats.

Kiran T2025-07-26Verified Beautiful Costa Rica Great rainforestWell kept facilities Beautiful naturals pools and the hot water poolThe view from the platform was amazingThe drive up here is a bit tricky though - you absolutely need a 4x4 if driving by yourself The trip was well worth it though Stephanie L2025-07-09Verified Magnifique! Truly an immersive experience in the rain forest. It’s worth every dollar. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. Food was very good! Sambu D2025-07-09Verified Amazing experience in nature We took the walking and thermal pools tour with Daniel as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the rain forest and eco-activities being done by Sensoria to maintain that balance. He pointed out several animals including toucanet, capuchin and spider monkey, iguanas, and flora along the trip. The walking tour is a very moderate tour, with only some elevation gain as a small challenge.The waterfalls and pools are simply breathtaking. We spent considerable time just absorbing the experience. We stayed at Blue River Resort just a few KM from Sensoria. The trip in was a slight challenge as ~ 30km of the trip is on unpaved roads full of pot holes. But the experience is well worth the effort. Highly recommend the experience and Daniel as a guide. Kiley J2025-06-26Verified Beyond Beautiful! Just breathtaking. This was wonderful! We loved our tour guide Juqouin! He was so passionate about the rainforest and was so easy to talk to and learn from. This place is one that every person should experience. You feel a new sense of life in you going there all while getting the most beautiful views and exercise! 10/10 recommend. Worth the money and the drive there! TraumaPhoenix2025-06-07Verified Must do experience in Costa Rica for nature lovers This is really an amazing location to visit while in Costa Rica. Although the drive up to it is a little rough, the payoff is worth it. You'll be immersed in a fully self-sustained part of the rainforest near the Rincon de la Vieja volcano. Take your time as you take in the natural beauty, flora, and fauna. The hike culminated in a lovely thermal spring which was a great way to relax at the end of the hike.Our guide Daniel was fully invested in his job, and his passion showed. He customized the tour to our needs and patiently explained all the ins and outs of the area. The site is well designed, with changing facilities and showers for after the hike and swim, and a nice lunch awaits you.Getting into nature is a key experience in Costa Rica, and this will not disappoint. Audrey M2025-06-06Verified Senoria Experience Awesome experience! Joaquin was great and knowledgeable. Thank you Joaquin and Juan!!! We will recommend to our family and friends!
