Beyond the Ballroom: One-of-a-Kind Incentive Experiences at Hacienda Guachipelin
Incentive travel should feel extraordinary. It should create the kind of moments guests talk about long after they return home.
At Hacienda Guachipelin, located at the base of Costa Rica’s Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, we believe the most memorable events are not always created inside a traditional meeting room. Sometimes, the perfect setting is beside a waterfall, surrounded by tropical forest, overlooking a volcano, or relaxing in natural hot springs with a cocktail in hand.
Our team works closely with incentive planners to transform the Hacienda’s natural surroundings, local culture, gastronomy and unique venues into experiences designed specifically for each group.

Imagine finishing a morning of adventure and arriving at a beautiful waterfall where a private picnic has been prepared exclusively for your group.
Surrounded by forest, volcanic landscapes and the sound of cascading water, guests can enjoy refreshing beverages and a carefully prepared meal in one of the most spectacular natural settings in Guanacaste.
It is simple, unexpected and incredibly memorable—the type of experience that cannot be recreated in a conventional hotel ballroom.
For groups looking for something authentically Costa Rican, a Guanacaste-style parrillada brings together local flavors, warm hospitality and the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside.
Grilled meats, traditional accompaniments, fresh local ingredients and tropical drinks can be combined with music and entertainment to create an informal evening inspired by the traditions of Guanacaste.
More than dinner, it becomes a celebration of the destination.
Hacienda Guachipelin is surrounded by a working ranch and agricultural land, allowing food to become another way for guests to connect with the destination.
Our farm-to-table buffet experiences highlight fresh ingredients and Costa Rican flavors while giving incentive groups an authentic sense of place.
Menus can be adapted to the style of the event—from relaxed lunches after a day of adventure to elevated evening celebrations and private group dinners.

Some venues simply do not need decoration.
Our open-air decks and viewpoints offer spectacular perspectives of the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano and the surrounding tropical landscape, creating a dramatic setting for welcome cocktails, sunset receptions, private dinners or closing celebrations.
Add signature cocktails, local cuisine, music and the energy of the group, and the landscape becomes part of the event itself.

After ziplining, tubing, hiking or exploring waterfalls, there may be no better incentive experience than ending the day in naturally heated volcanic waters.
For private groups, we can transform a visit to the Río Negro Hot Springs into a social experience with an open bar, cocktails and time to relax together surrounded by nature.
Guests can enjoy the thermal pools and volcanic mud baths while reconnecting after a day of adventure—a completely different take on the traditional cocktail reception.
The most exciting incentive programs are often created from an idea that initially sounds a little unconventional.
At Hacienda Guachipelin, we make every effort to turn creative ideas into unforgettable experiences.
Our combination of nature, adventure, authentic Costa Rican culture, distinctive venues and flexible food and beverage services gives planners the freedom to create programs that feel genuinely unique.
Because incentive travel should never feel ordinary. It should feel like something your guests could only experience here.
