We begin our journey with a warm group welcome & a delicious meal together in the city. This is a chance to meet your fellow yogis, settle in, & prepare for the adventure ahead. An early night sets us up for our first full day.

Our first day of exploration begins at the vibrant Feria Verde local market, artisan handcraft, delicious local bites & fresh tropical juices; accompanied by local musical talent - the Ticos get up to dance! We then head high into the fertile farmland of Cartago to reach the summit of Volcán Irazú - at 3,432 metres, it offers views of both the Pacific & Caribbean on a clear day. Lunch is served on an organic family farm on the slopes of the volcano, in the rural part of the country to experience real Costa Rican life & see the way of life for many

We travel to the lush Pacific side of Costa Rica, making stops for some crocodiles, beach smoothies, lunch & scenic view points along the way. Arriving at our rainforest sanctuary up in the rainforest of Quepos, we immerse ourselves in nature with a river walk & a grounding restful yoga practice to welcome in the jungle energy. Your first night here will be full of new & exciting sounds!

Today we visit the famous Manuel Antonio National Park, home to incredible biodiversity & stunning coastal views. We get to explore, swim & sunbathe on the beach! We continue to the majestic Nauyaca Waterfalls for a hike & swim, then head down to the laid-back hippy surf town of Dominical for free time, sunset & a delicious dinner before returning to our jungle retreat.

A full immersion in nature. We unplug from Wi-Fi & screens to reconnect with the present moment, we fully encourage you to take full advantage of this experience, but keep your devices for photos if you wish! Enjoy river meditation, yoga, waterfall cleanse, heart-opening cacao ceremony & an evening fire circle under the stars - this is pura vida.

We rise early & journey inland toward Volcano Arenal, watching the landscape transform as we pass by cloud forests & lakes. Arriving at our glamping site, we unwind & stetch with yoga & then head to the volcanic thermal springs for a soak & a relaxing evening after our travel day, your body will be in bliss! Wood-fired pizza by the open fire awaits us for dinner in the resort gardens.

Today we explore Mistico Park, walking through the infamous cloud forest trails which Costa Rica is famous for, & across the iconic hanging bridges above jungle canopies; photo opportunities here are abundant. Afterward, we visit El Choyin hot springs & enjoy some free time in Fortuna town. Evening yoga & a delicious group dinner will round off this wholesome day.

We begin with a gentle morning yoga class, then visit the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall, cascading 70 metres from a gap in the jungle, you can enjoy the force of the waterfall or take a swim. After lunch, we join a guide for a Twilight Safari walk - watching as the jungle shifts from day to night, some animals getting ready to sleep as others come alive! Looking out for the native Red-Eyed Tree Frog! An early evening to enjoy some free time to reflect in a hammock or bathe in the warm jacuzzi. You can choose to eat out or order in & relax by the firepit for our last night at our cosy glamping site.

After our final yoga session in La Fortuna, we travel to the East coast to be welcomed into the vibrant Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo, staying central at our ocean retreat. After settling in & some orientation of the town just 5 minutes down the hill, we gather at Cocles Beach for a fire circle & sunset drinks, followed by dinner at a stylish beachside spot.

Morning yoga sets the tone before heading to Cahuita National Park for a peaceful beach meditation & time by the turquoise Caribbean sea. Another chance to spot some sloths! We’ll enjoy free time in Puerto Viejo downtown, choose to enjoy the beach some more, browse the markets or hire a bike to explore the beach road. After our time in Puerto Viejo town, we return to enjoy a Cacao ceremony & nourishing dinner.

We receive a rare invitation to visit the BriBri Indigenous community by the border of Panama, who cultivate our cacao. This is a Matriarchal community, where women pass on their legacy & hold council - an incredible insight to a peaceful way of life, with wisdom direct from Mother Earth. We’ll learn about their culture, tour the plantation, & share stories. Mama will cook us a homecooked lunch which we’ll eat together in their ceremonial palapa. On the return journey, we stop for a refreshing dip at Dos Rios Waterfall before an evening of Caribbean flavours; & perhaps a beachside dance!

We sleep in, practice our yoga with a Caribbean breeze, & enjoy a final breakfast over looking the ocean, before heading back to San José. That evening, we gather for a farewell dinner to reflect on all we’ve shared & celebrate the deep connections made where it all started.

A final breakfast before our 10:00am checkout (with your airport shuttle organised or help with onward travel). We part ways carrying memories of a truly unforgettable experience; & some new lifelong friendships.
