A photo tour of Rio Perdido, where outdoor adventure and pampering relaxation take place in pristine nature
At the time of my visit, Rio Perdido – which means “Lost River” – was a 600-acre private reserve created around a thermo-mineral river, designed to complement its natural surroundings and built with a high commitment to sustainability and ecological conservation. It was a place to spend your day combining luxurious pampering with thrilling adventure, by way of natural hot springs, a spa, three pools, and an extensive “aerial canyoning” system made up of ziplines, swings, and challenge bridges.
It was an amazing experience back then, but the property is even more impressive today. Expanded adventure activities take place in stunning, remote nature and include ziplining, hiking, mountain biking, and white water tubing. Relaxation options range from soaking in the thermal river to luxuriating at the on-property spa. And, best of all, Rio Perdido now has 20 beautiful bungalows where guests can book a stay.

Rio Perdido’s ever-evolving offerings will continue to improve in 2015. The property has plans for Saturday morning sunrise walks and night cycling, as well as a Beers and Gears festival, featuring local and international microbreweries. There will also be enhancements to the white water tubing activities, and in-room offerings such as the minibars, which will be tailored to each guest’s desires. Finally, the resort has started an agriculture project to grow its own herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
