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!

What our visitors say
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.
