      About this trip

      Exclusively for Women! Join me for an epic bucket-list, journey of a lifetime to Peru that combines culture, amazing food, breathtaking natural landscapes, yoga, adventure and a visit to the UNESCO archeological wonder of Machu Picchu by Vistadome train.   Solo Travelers are welcome!  Travel with me and find your community!


      I have so much planned for you! We will  Immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Andes Mountains while following the footsteps of the ancient Incas.  


      We will enjoy the vibrant local culture, indulge in delicious local cuisine, take a cooking class, shop for local artisan textiles and silver, wander the ruins at Pisac, Maras and Ollantaytambo, and deepen our yoga practice in a serene and rejuvenating environment. 


      At Mountainview Experience we spend a day in nature hanging out with alpacas, picnicking and creating a watercolor work of art to take home.  Feeling a bit more energetic? You can also SUP or kayak on Lake Huaypo, ride an ATV or horse, or just relax with a cup of Andean Muna tea in the lodge while gazing at the amazing Andes Mountains.  


      Oh, and of course, we will do gentle yoga in the foothills of the Andes Mountains!  (Optional! You can always sleep in!)


      Our four-star boutique hotels are so special. The Antigua Casona in San Blas features a lovely courtyard with comfy sofas, hand woven blankets, firepits and wait staff ready to serve you.  The Spa at Antigua is completely amazing, complete with a steam bath, jacuzzi soak, salt rubs from a local quarry, Spanish-style shower, and therapeutic massage.   


      El Albergue Hotel in Ollantaytambo features beautiful gardens full of flowers, an organic farm, gourmet restaurant, a distillery and a coffee roastery.  I love it so much.  

      Shared or private rooms available. Single travelers are welcome, and I can match you with a roommate!

      What an absolutely breathtaking, calming, blissful, relaxing and enjoyable experience through and through. Brooke and Jodye really know how to take care of you - especially with all of the unpredictable things that come with travel (missing flights, shuttles, etc)! They were so communicative, informative and organized when it came to having all the information necessary for planning. They immediately helped us book a hotel in San Jose our first night in Costa Rica after we missed our flight from Miami to Costa Rica after running all the way across the airport terminal. And a new shuttle for the next day! On top of that, Casa Firefly was the perfect safe haven away and an environment to foster growth through all the workshops included. The staff was so welcoming and food was absolutely delicious. The meal selections and cost were at a very good price. The connections made while meeting people from all different areas really were the icing, filling and glue to the cake itself of this trip! And together we all got to experiencing the wonders of this beautiful location. I will always treasure this unforgettable experience and can't wait to travel with Jodye and Brooke again!

      While I'm a regular global traveler, this was my first retreat/yoga retreat/organized group travel experience, and it far exceeded my expectations. Jodye and Brooke are so good at what they do. They are both incredibly organized and thoughtful individuals but they also go with the flow --- these are necessary skills when traveling and it really set a peaceful tone for me. The experience was equally organized yet flexible, adventurous yet relaxing and rejuvenating, curated yet tailored to the experience I personally wanted to have. Just a few of the things I loved about this retreat: a print-out itinerary (everything optional!) upon arrival with additional information about add-on opportunities, the fact that they checked in regularly with the group to see how folks felt about doing different activities and also reiterated regularly that everything was optional, and the opportunities to do fun add-ons or just chill, traveling to a lesser-known/less touristy part of the country. Jodye and Brooke also planned intentional mindfulness exercises that made the experience transformative. It is really hard to describe a retreat with Jodye and Brooke; all I can say is JUST GO FOR IT. You will not be sorry you said yes. In short, it was an incredible experience and I cannot wait to travel with them again.

      What a great way to end 2023 and kick off 2024. I met a fantastic group of yoga minded people to explore Costa Rica with. The activities had a good balance of touring and time to relax at the resort. I appreciated always having a choice that fitted with what I needed. Excellent food and beautiful surroundings! Highly recommend Casa Firefly and Jodye & Brooke organized yoga retreat!
