Booking page: "After payment, you will be redirected to our health screener. Please note that we CANNOT CONFIRM YOUR BOOKING before your health questionnaire has been reviewed."

The law where it operates
Illegal but tolerated in practice: psilocybin is on Costa Rica's national control list and unauthorised supply carries 8 to 15 years in prison, yet retreats operate openly and we found no reported prosecution of one.
Prohibited under national law. Retreats operate openly and we found no reported prosecution of a retreat. That can change without notice, and participants and operators carry real legal risk.
