Eloping and Honeymooning
Where the Wild Things Are
Big budget weddings are out and elopements are in, according to wedding planners across North America. As a destination, Costa Rica has always been on the top of the list for honeymooners, but now Lapa Rios Rainforest Ecolodge is seeing an increase in couples coming to say “I do”, which is why they are offering elopement packages along side honeymoon rates.
What sets Lapa Rios apart is the guest list of howler monkeys, red eye tree frogs, jaguars, two and three toed sloths and over 300 species of wild birds. And family members who are trying to get hold of the happy couple - can’t, as communications is limited with phones and internet only available for emergency purposes.
“We have heard from couples that a dream to come to a private, eco-resort like Lapa Rios for their honeymoon is no longer feasible if they have to spend big on a wedding. By eloping to Lapa Rios, they leave behind the stress of big bills, and can start their life together in one of the most romantic, exotic, bio-diverse and eco-friendly destinations in the world.”
Lapa Rios Elopement Packages by Tropical Occasions
Couples can choose to do in front of a private waterfall, deep in the rainforest, the beach or on a secluded platform with spectacular views of the ocean.
