1.0 About this service

Missions

El Monte is an ideal base for mission groups visiting Costa Rica. We can accommodate up to 40 guests and offer comprehensive packages that include lodging, meals, and a bilingual concierge service to help coordinate itineraries, on-site transportation, and activities.

We connect groups with local Christian organizations and social aid projects—having worked with groups such as Chepe se Baña, Enlace, the Hortencia Rodríguez de Bolaños Nursing Home, and the Vida Children's Home—ensuring that their time is a blessing to both the visitors and the local community. All of this takes place in a natural setting that fosters reflection, environmental sustainability, and meaningful community engagement. We can customize the ideal itinerary for your group, featuring a blend of adventure and service that embodies the "Pura Vida" spirit!

End-to-end concierge

We handle all the logistics so your group can focus on serving. We recently coordinated a 7-day trip for a group of 40 high-school students. We can arrange:

  • Airport transfers

    Pickup and drop-off at SJO, with private air-conditioned transportation all week.

  • Lodging and meals

    Farm-to-table lodging and meals, including a traditional Costa Rican welcome lunch.

  • Bilingual coordination

    A dedicated bilingual coordinator and full itinerary planning.

  • Local ministries

    Connections with trusted churches and ministries: children's homes, elderly care homes, outreach to people experiencing homelessness, youth groups, and evangelism.

  • Enlace visit

    A behind-the-scenes visit and on-camera experience at Enlace, Latin America's largest Christian television network.

  • Costa Rican adventure

    White-water rafting, volcano hot springs, zip-lining, national parks, and beaches (Manuel Antonio, La Fortuna/Arenal), booked for you.

When you host your trip with us, you are not only serving Costa Rican communities — you are also supporting our ongoing commitment to conservation and a Christian organization with more than 30 years of ministry in the region.

What our visitors say

Brian Bonds Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

★★★★★

Monte de Oración is a wonderful place to be. From the moment you enter through the gates you feel the peace and warmth of the natural surroundings. The accommodations are comfortable and well suited. There are so many places to pray and have personal and group devotions, many places to take walks and hikes. Their food and hospitality is like no other. This is a definite stay for anyone.

The food was amazing and Baldi springs was definitely one of the best memories ever, and the Chepe se Baña street clean up. What I liked most about the trip was the food, excursions, and how welcoming everyone was. It was amazing and so fun. Got closer to God and grew my relationship.
