The Story Behind Rio Danta Hostel
Rio Danta Hostel is a local project born from the desire to create an authentic, affordable place connected to nature — where every traveler feels welcome and part of a real community.
The name “Rio Danta” reflects our love for wildlife and the natural environment of La Fortuna. The tapir is a peaceful, strong creature that symbolizes harmony and respect for nature.
