Río Shanti is housed in the oldest structure in Monteverde, a Quaker home, locally known as the Boehm house. It was constructed in 1949 and since then it has been a residence, a tea room, the offices of the Monteverde Institute and, most recently, the Community Art Center. Rio Shanti is working hard to secure much of it’s past essence and history as well as developing the site into a center for well being, health and arts for both the local community and visitors to Monteverde.
