The owners, Rosie and Richard, met when Richard was a Peace Corps volunteer in Rosie’s hometown of Venecia. Rosie has almost three decades of experience in Costa Rican tourism. Through her travel agency, Costa Rican Specialties, she has helped hundreds of families and groups develop personalized travel experiences in her native country. Richard is an environmental economist at Texas A&M University. Finca 360 brings together their interests in promoting tourism and sustainable development.
Rosie and Richard bought the property in 2008, and started the long process of allowing the degraded pasture start to transition back to forest. In 2016, we built our first trails on the property and then in 2017 started construction. In late 2018 we started welcoming guests, and have enjoyed getting to know our guests from all over the world.
Rosie and Richard have made it their goal to preserve the rainforest on the property. Former cattle pastures are now growing back into the beautiful secondary forest, and the property preserves acres of pristine forest with over three kilometers of well-maintained trails, a hanging bridge and access to nearby beautiful waterfalls.
Not far from this enchanting boutique hotel, you can find some of Costa Rica’s most amazing waterfalls, you can indulge your adventurous side with tours ranging from horseback rides to waterfall rappelling, take family-friendly tours of the local butterfly garden or a coffee and chocolate tour. There’s also stand up paddling, tours to the La Fortuna area, and much more.
Hotel Finca 360 is perfect for yoga retreats, family reunions and just about anyone who loves nature and wants an off-the-beaten-path paradise.
