DECEMBER HOLIDAYS AT HACIENDA ALTAGRACIA
With specially curated culinary experiences rooted in the Latin heritage of the region, gather for expertly prepared celebratory feasts featuring live music and unexpected flavors surrounded by breathtaking vistas of raw beauty, setting the stage for a Christmas filled with soul-enriching joy.
A new series of festive experiences
The Hacienda will be transformed into a wonderland where Entre Nudos and designer Daniela Monge’s macrame designs will weave together in multiple locations across the property. Garlands, ornaments, and other decorative elements will illuminate Hacienda AltaGracia’s signature venues, bringing the spirit of the Entre Nudos vision and ethos to life while delighting guests with uniquely artistic installations that will mesmerize.
El Tope
Considered part of the national folklore of Costa Rica, El Tope is a much anticipated event for lovers of horse riding. The tradition was born at the beginning of the 20th Century, when farmers would herd their cattle on horseback from one farm to another. We invite guests to line the avenue between the fountains, in front of El Cultivo, Mercado and Grano to view the majesty of the horses and the skill of their riders.
Pura Vida Hour at Hogar Madre del Redentor
Join us as we give back to the local community and head to the Hogar Madre del Redentor girls orphanage to personally deliver parcels containing everyday necessities and baskets of food prepared at the hacienda
