Getting Here

Location icon Sapana Yoga, Shankara Retreat Center, San José, Platanillo, Costa Rica

Directions

Shankara Retreat Center lies in a very quiet residential neighborhood & is surrounded by nature. Through the property runs a year-round stream with a swimming hole. You can hike up the stream to a beautiful waterfall or just enjoy the cool refreshment in the middle of the jungle. There is plenty of chill-out spaces to rest, read a book or chat with like-minded people. The next town, Platanillo, is only 10 minutes maximum walking distance and has a bus stop, supermarket and organic store/cafe. Dominical, the closest beach town, is 20 minutes away by bus or car.

There is an airport shuttle available from the main airport SJO in San Jose with a company we can recommend. It is 59 USD and brings you to Dominical, the closest beach town. From there you can take a taxi or uber, share a taxi with other participants directly to the center or take the bus to Platanillo from where we can arrange a pickup.
