​

On this PURA VIDA COSTA RICA RETREAT we will enjoy the lush & vibrant tropics from our location on the Nicoya Peninsula. With luxury accommodation, delicious meals, daily yoga, ai chi, yogalates, Pilates and plenty of time to stroll the beach, we'll soak in the rays & the pura vida (pure life) vibe that is Costa Rica's national expression.  There will be an opportunity to spot scarlet macaws & white-faced monkeys when we visit the Montezuma Waterfall or when we hike Cabo Blanco Natural Reserva - Costa Rica's first national park.

 

Our 8 nights will be perched overlooking the wild Pacific on the renowned surf beach Playa Santa Teresa, a hipster town of funky eateries & quirky shops.  Here we'll stay in a cozy boutique hotel, our yoga shala perched on the hillside, enjoying sunsets from our pool and evening meals at various modern restaurants around town. We'll visit the town of Montezuma, a 45 minute drive away, for day trips, where the jungle meets the sea.  Immersed in the sights & sounds of the lush magic of the jungle, we are steps away from the rolling surf. Much of the fauna that distinctly defines Costa Rica will be here at our doorstep: lizards, iguanas, monkeys & butterflies.

tips

SUGGESTIONS:

Once in Liberia or San Jose, you take a domestic flight with Sansa airline ($94 one way) to Tambor (a 30 minute flight).  I suggest the 9:50 am flight arriving in Tambor at 10:25.  We will then shuttle everyone to Santa Teresa (cost included) - a 45 minute drive. Approximate arrival time 11:30 am on January 17. If you can't make the shuttle, we will help you arrange other transportation.
