Begin each day with a gentle morning yoga flow by Reinier Voorwinde, and have yourself ready to pack for day excursions to Patagonia's iconic places to visit, hikes, and more excursions. At the end of the day, come back with a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment after a long outdoor adventure day to a warmth-cozy Simple Patagonia Hotel, a boutique hotel that will accommodate our entire stay during the retreat.
