Check-in Time: 6:00 PM - July 26th
Check-out Time: 12:00 PM - August 1st
Guests will arrive in Colombia on July 26th, and the retreat will end on Friday, July 31st. Then, guests can relax and check out by noon the next day.
They will be picked up at the airport by a member of our team and me and taken to the resort.
Upon arrival, guests can simply enjoy the evening by visiting the beach, taking a walk, or relaxing.
The official start to activities and yoga will begin on Monday, July 27th, at 7:30 AM.
ON SUNDAY, you will arrive and be picked up by us from the airport or bus station. We then go to the hotel and have a leisurely night with a nice healthy dinner.
In the mornings starting at 7:30, guests will begin with a breathing technique session (pranayama) followed by a more active yoga session led by Estafania.
Breakfast will be served at 9:00 AM.
At 11:00 AM, the daily activity will begin. Guests can also choose to skip the activity and simply enjoy the beach, the pool, and relax.
Monday Activity: Hike (easy) to Quebrada Valencia. This is a very pretty waterfall located within 5 minutes of the hotel. We will be transporting you there and back. The walk to the falls takes about 30-40 minutes and we will spend 2 hours there swimming, snorkeling, and just soaking in the view.
Tuesday Activity: On Tuesday we will be heading to La Selvita, this is a really special place run by by a family of Colombians and French. There you will see the farm and learn all about cacao and get to see the making of chocolate, from start to finish. AND you will get to sample their delicious chocolates and learn about each recipe and see the process of how it is created.
Wednesday Activity: This is a special day because you will be going to my favorite beach in the world! Parque Tayrona. Tayrona Park is a beautiful national park and the reason I moved to Colombia. The waters are clear and protected by small mountains and reefs. We will buy your tickets, provide transportation and a guide for the whole day. You will return to the hotel the same day and be very glad you booked this trip! :)
Thursday Activity: This will be a relaxing day spent in Project Nido. This is truly a gem run by two amazing people. We will have Spanish class there led by a great instructor and you will have the option to speak Spanish, try some interesting food and drinks, or just walk around the property taking in the plethora of plants and landscaping available. It is a really nice peaceful place. (See the video of all the nice plants and the trails).
Friday Activity: River tubing! One of my favorites. Local guides will take you on the river. It is a laid-back ride down the river and it ends in a just behind the beach in a shallow pool. You will see!
There are additional activities available for extra booking if clients so desire such as massages cooking classes. Some times guests will have the option to choose an additional activity or just relax on the beach, pool or anywhere around the resort.
In the late afternoon, guests will have a slower-paced, sound-based, relaxing class, followed by dinner, then a meditation, all led by Ana.
The retreat officially ends on Friday evening, and guests are encouraged to stay until Saturday or longer to enjoy the surrounding area and participate in river tubing or other activities.
Guests are also entitled to a private shuttle back to the Santa Marta airport upon leaving and they can choose to stay extra days/nights in the resort or travel to their next destination in Colombia with help planning if needed.
