Santa Lucía Town

The Santa Lucía Town offers you a glimpse of Costa Rica's past with today's modern comfort.

A replica of Costa Rica's historical past, the Santa Lucía town in Villa Lapas adds a quaint, charming touch to its natural surroundings. Based on a typical Costa Rican town during the times of the Colony and Spanish conquest, Santa Lucía includes a church, a local cantina (which no Costa Rican town could do without!) a lake, restaurant, 3 souvenir shops and other points of interest. It is also a great place to hold full service private events, like weddings, corporate meetings and more.

The Santa Lucía Church

Featuring a colonial style, the Santa Lucía Church is located by the side of the town's lake, surrounded by unspoiled nature. Featuring authentic, ancient colonial elements hundreds of years old from all over Central America, the church is the perfect place to celebrate weddings and other religious events.

The Cantina

With a country and western flavor, our cantina is a great place to sip down cocktails, hang out and wind down with friends after a whole day of exciting adventures in the wild! Open every night.

Santa Lucía Restaurant

With a capacity of over 300 people, our restaurant features a wide array of tempting meals served by our first class staff. You can choose between Buffet or “a la carte” dining styles, suited to please anyone's palate. Open daily.

Santa Lucía Souvenir Shop

Want to take a piece of Costa Rica back home? No need to go elsewhere to find it - our three in-site shops feature everything from clothing to first-class Costa Rican coffee to authentic ceramic and wood handcrafts to even whole furniture pieces (and we will even help with delivery of those big items), all of it at attractive prices!
