About this trip

In 2016 my husband and I traveled to Costa Rica for our 15th anniversary. We quickly fell in love with the country as a whole, but there was something about the Arenal region that completely won our hearts. In one small region you can find dense rainforest, waterfalls, a spectacular lake, an active volcano, and amazing hot springs. I've never come to the end of a vacation before and truly wished I weren't traveling home.  I created this retreat to recapture that feeling of awe and excitement that we found. 


Join us for an incredible voyage into the jungles of Costa Rica. The Mystica Lodge & Retreat is an oasis in the heart of Costa Rica, overlooking the Arenal Lake and Volcano. Daily power and gentle yoga classes, a journey to the Tabacon Hot Springs, and numerous options for adventures in the rain forest!

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive
Arrive and settle in

Mystica will arrange transportation from the Liberia Airport. I'll need to get everyone's flight information and send that to them so they can set up our shuttles. They are going to set up 2 shuttles around everyone's flight times.

We'll have a welcome yoga session at 4pm (I will adjust times once I see everyone's flights) and dinner at 7pm.

So fantastic! Stayed in Ramsada with friends and it was gorgeous and comfy. The resort really felt like staying with family that fed you better than you can ever expect and is more patient with you than family would ever be :). It was high enough that there was a constant breeze - so though it was in the 80's, it felt really nice all of the time. The whole place is like a gorgeous garden you get to walk through - and walking to optional yoga classes morning and night was a great start and end to my day. We had mosquito bands, but I think it was windy enough that they weren't needed. Oh, weirdly my favorite part is that they have really good water from their well, which they put into wine bottles that you can grab from their fridge any time you want. As a water fiend, I admit this was really awesome for me. We also went on a few adventures offered out the resort - and those were amazing. I think the 'warnings' I'd give people - it's going to rain every day, and you want it to. Makes it nice and cool. If you are going for a full yoga retreat, bring your own mat if you are picky. These are fine for 2 classes a day, but I"m pretty pick,y so I would bring my own if there were more classes. Don't stock up on bottled water - you really don't need it :D. They only have a few types of beer, and they are local and tasty. If you need more than that, grab it on the way and put it in the fridge. Also, no hard liquor at this resort - it's not the sort with a bar. Though my husband LOVED the house red wine. I really recommend it - such a wonderful time.
