This was an incredible week of great yoga with a view of the waterfalls, amazing food, lovely people and fun adventures! I loved every minute and came away feeling rested and refreshed with a few new friends too. Claire and Julia do an incredible job. I will be back!!

This GoctaLab trip with Julia and Claire was such an incredible, unforgettable, awe-inspiring experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Julia and Claire are the best retreat hosts—very organized, communicative, engaging and just wonderful humans overall! Not to mention, they’re both amazing yoga instructors, I felt so grateful and peaceful after every class.
GoctaLab is a beautiful and serene property filled with coffee plants, gorgeous flowers, and lush greenery. Both the bio pool and the yoga deck overlooking the waterfall were true highlights, as well as the succulent garden!
The food is absolutely delicious and the menu features local ingredients and unique Amazonian dishes. I think I gained five pounds, everything was too good.
Other highlights included a beautiful scenic hike to Gocta waterfall, visiting ancient Kuelap ruins, white water rafting and sharing it all with an amazing group of people!
I could not recommend this trip more highly. Thanks, Julia and Claire!

We had a fantastic time! Amazing hosts, super fun itinerary, gorgeous retreat center and grounds and the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. The bonus was having the option to do yoga twice a day with Claire and Julia. They’re real pros.

The perfect balance of active, restful, and restorative, Claire and Julia planned a wonderful week in Gocta. GoctaLab is a little paradise, Chachapoyas is an incredible place to visit - if you have the chance to attend this retreat DO IT! Claire is an incredible Yoga teacher and both ladies did an excellent job planning and communicating. This is an amazing retreat!!

I had the most wonderful week at the GoctaLab yoga retreat. Not only is the location absolutely stunning and unique with lots of cool activities available like hiking, pottery classes, swimming, and canyoning, the hotel itself is super special. The food was outstanding and all of the staff here made us feel like their family. Claire and Julia were fantastic hosts, and the yoga was very special. This was my first yoga retreat, and I left feeling stronger, healthier, calmer, and like my nervous system was given a reboot. Claire and Julia are very experienced yogis and wonderful teachers. I highly recommend that anyone would attend their retreats, and I hope to return as well!

Julia and Claire are the most wonderful, awe-inspiring, and truly incredible hosts. Going to GoctaLab was my second retreat with them, and the experience exceeded all of my expectations. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.
I would highly recommend putting your heart in their hands—they are both insanely talented and magnanimous, and take such good care of every individual. Feeling so full of joy and life.
Can’t wait for the next one!
