Secret Waterfalls & Nature Escapes for Intimate Celebrations

When it comes to planning an unforgettable elopement, micro wedding, or romantic proposal, Costa Rica offers more than just sandy beaches and stunning sunsets. For couples seeking something truly magical, hidden waterfalls and secluded nature escapes provide the perfect backdrop for intimate celebrations.

Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by the gentle roar of cascading water, the vibrant green of the rainforest, and the feeling that this moment exists just for you two. These natural settings not only offer breathtaking beauty but also the privacy that makes your celebration feel truly personal.

Why Choose Waterfalls & Nature Escapes?

  • Privacy & Intimacy – Avoid crowds and distractions, creating a more meaningful, connected experience.

  • Unique Photography Opportunities – The lush surroundings and flowing water create dramatic, romantic shots you’ll treasure forever.

  • Adventure Meets Romance – These escapes let you combine your love story with Costa Rica’s incredible natural beauty.

Top Tips for Planning Your Celebration

  1. Scout Locations Early – Many hidden waterfalls are off the beaten path; visiting beforehand ensures everything goes smoothly.

  2. Plan for Weather – Rainforest settings are magical, but a light drizzle can happen anytime. Consider timing your celebration carefully.

  3. Keep It Simple – For intimate settings, focus on the essentials: couple, photographer, officiant, and maybe a few special touches like flowers or a picnic.

  4. Work With Local Experts – Experienced planners can handle permits, safety, and logistics, letting you focus on the moment.
