A rural Costa Rican cabin retreat ~ La Flor de Rio Cuarto
Hi, we're Sara & Johel. Nice to meet you.

Named for an acronym for our family (Johel - Oliver - Yorela - Sara - Leo), these casitas were a project envisioned by Johel years ago with the dream of bringing people to his hometown of La Flor through an authentic Costa Rican travel experience. As a long-standing English as a Second Language teacher, Sara also has a passion for experiencing the world and hopes to share this passion with not only her children but anyone looking for an opportunity to experience under-explored, genuine reflections of the country.
Learn more about Sara and Johel's dream by watching the videos here!
