As you trek through the dense foliage, taking in the earthy scents, you’re surprised by the cool breezes rewarding your climb. A profound sense of connection to nature ignites something deep within. You can relate to the trees, standing tall, branches intertwined like old comrades, creating a natural cathedral overhead. Sunlight streams through, casting radiant beams of awe, that remind you of both your place in the world and your undeniable strength. You feel more alive and engaged than ever before, embracing the raw beauty and adventure of the wilderness, of which you are a vital part.
In these moments, immersed in the wild senses of nature—the crackling of leaves underfoot, the distant calls of birds of prey, and the steady flow of hidden streams—you experience a powerful sense of grounding and purpose. It’s as if the mountains themselves are asserting their strength and claiming you as one of their own, welcoming you into a realm where you truly belong. |

As you hit the pillow at the end of the day, exhausted yet invigorated, the depth of your adventure stays with you long after you step off the trail. That day wasn’t just about pushing your limits; it was a test of resilience and renewal that reignites your spirit. The camaraderie built with fellow hikers - moments of laughter, shared challenges, and silent reflections—transforms that experience into something deeper. You come to understand that this isn’t just a physical challenge; it’s a meaningful journey that stirs your soul, prompting you to appreciate not only the world around you but also the strength and spirit within you. |

why el camino de costa rica?There’s no better place for personal work than in nature, and where better than Costa Rica?! We’re not talking about beach resorts with swim-up bars and DJs. On this journey, you go behind the curtain of common tourism like few have ever done. In fact, more people have summited Mount Everest than have completed El Camino de Costa Rica. Inspired by El Camino de Santiago, El Camino de Costa Rica was formed in 2018, and is still a quiet, almost sacred place of solitude, unspoiled nature, indigenous lands and rural communities. You’ll hike the most iconic 8 days of this breathtaking trail. In 2024, after 16 days of hiking the entire Camino from the Caribbean to the Pacific, we collaborated with URRITREK (the best and most experienced tour company available), to customize the ultimate journey for this men’s retreat. So you get the best parts of the Camino, hosted and guided by only the best. Far more than just a physical journey; this is a transformative experience that combines adventure, cultural immersion, and a deep connection with nature. You’ll traverse rainforests, cross rivers, and climb mountains. Encounter diverse wildlife and learning about Costa Rican traditions along the way, you’ll hike through sugar cane and coffee plantains and jungle, cloud forest and rain forest. You’ll create powerful memories every day and night, that you’ll be telling for years to come. |

Here, you’ll develop your capacity to receive the love and support you deserve from others and know you’re worth it.

Where will i stay?
|
In addition to the adventure of the hike itself, you’ll experience unique accommodations that reflect the diversity of each section of the trail. You’ll spend two nights camping on indigenous lands, on raised platforms with protective roofs. Other nights in private homes, and some in a rustic lodge by a rushing river or on a scenic hillside.
Whether you’re enjoying the warmth of a fire in your own cabin, or paying Jenga with your host and her children, it’s always special. Every unique accommodation is safe, clean and comfortable, and always with the intention of preserving the essence of rural Costa Rica. And not to worry, your luggage will be shuttled for you, so you’ll only be carrying your daypack on the trail. |
Every night’s lodging will be a special experience overflowing with genuinely warm hospitality.

what will i eat?

If you ask any Tico (the term for locals) in rural Costa Rica, who makes the best tamale, gallo pinto, or empanada, the correct answer will always be mi madre! (my mother). And they’re right! And, the “Mom” of the place you’re staying is likely making your meal each day, so you get to see for yourself as you enjoy authentic homestyle cooking. Costa Rica is an agricultural country, and the local menu reflects what’s available locally – lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, beans, pineapple, bananas, plantains, avocados, fresh juices, fresh eggs, fish, pork, beef, chicken, and of course some of the world’s best coffee and chocolate. You’ll be well fed for your active days, and most dietary needs can be accomodated, but be sure to discuss this with us well in advance.

Frequently asked questions
Q. How do I know if this is for me?
A. You can email Mike to have a conversation about this before making a deposit, and you will also receive a brief application form for your own reflection and to start a conversation before we finalize your commitment to the group, and our commitment to you.
Q. Will I fit in? Who will I be hiking with?
A. This is such an important question, as it will be a relatively small group. Every deposit is actually the start of the application. The application is not about proving that you are "enough". Afterall, we are here to awaken our ENOUGHness! The application is to make sure the group is right for you. We want to create a cohesive group that is feeling called to a level of work on a similar path that creates a physically and emotionally safe place for you to do your best growth at your own pace, in a loving and supportive tribe of like-minded men.
Q.How hard is this hike?
A. You don't have to be superman to do this. You do need to be in reasonable shape to walk up to about 10 miles a day, with elevation gain and carry your daypack.
Q. How long do we hike each day?
A. We hike about 5-6 hours of hiking on 7 of the 8 days.
Q. Are it crazy to hike in Costa Rica in the summer?
A. It's the same crazy year round! We will have cool weather (as low as 50's or 60's in mountains and cloud forest), we will also have heat, humidity, bugs, blisters and the time of our lives.
Q. What about rainy season?
A. Weather in Costa Rica has been less predictable year round recently. July and August are typically not as rainy, especially if we use the wisdom of our guides staying east of the mountain summits at that time of year. We also hike early in the day to arrive before the common afternoon rains.
Q. What do I pack?
A. We provide a details packing list, and a live Q&A with the group well in advance to share our personal stories, past successes and failures in packing, so you'll be well-equipped to be well-equipped!
