Open-air thatched ceremony deck surrounded by jungle at Evolution House

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca · Caribbean Coast, Costa Rica

Our Healing Center
in Costa Rica

A jungle sanctuary where ceremony, rest, and the rainforest meet. Come as a guest on one of our retreats — or hold your own here.

Holistic Wellness, Rooted in the Jungle

Evolution House sits between rainforest and farmland on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, minutes from the sea and wrapped in jungle life. Every part of the property was built for the work: an open-air maloca for ceremony, quiet corners for integration, communal tables for long shared meals, and beds that let the body genuinely rest.

Plant medicine, sound, breath, movement, and nature meet here in one container — held by experienced practitioners, surrounded by hummingbirds, toads, sloths, monkeys, toucans, and the warm rain of the Caribbean coast.

The Heart of the Property

The Open-Air Ceremony Maloca

A wide hardwood deck beneath a thatched roof, open on all sides to the jungle. This is where the Ayahuasca ceremonies are held through the night, where morning yoga unrolls at sunrise, and where sound baths, breathwork, cacao circles, and fire spinning fill the days between.

  • Room for a full circle of mats, mattresses, and altar space
  • Naturally cooled by ocean breeze and jungle canopy
  • Adjacent fire circle for evening gatherings

House One

The Main Jungle House

Three stories of light, hardwood, and hand-finished stone rising into the canopy. The lower two levels hold five bedrooms — one king, two queens, one full, and one single — along with two full bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, marble rainfall showers, and a live-edge dining table long enough for the whole group to gather. The third level opens to the sky as our open-air ceremony maloca, complete with two half baths, where the jungle itself becomes the walls.

Houses Two & Three

Two Jungle Bungalows

Houses Two and Three are twin jungle bungalows, almost identical in layout and spirit. Each is raised on stilts beneath a thatched roof, with a breezy loft, an enclosed A/C bedroom, a kitchenette, and one full bathroom with a glass wall looking straight into the green. Each bungalow sleeps four guests.
