Find Authentic Retreats in Paute Ecuador

"We recently had a family reunion at TOSA Blue Mountain. Our family gathering was made so much more special for having spent time together in such a pristine environment. We highly recommend the Ganesha Community House for the perfect combination of an intimate yet private space to share with close family or friends. TOSA Blue Mountain (an easy and scenic 1-hour ride from the beautiful city of Cuenca in southern Ecuador), gave us a chance to connect to each other and to ourselves. The energy there is pure and powerful; the property is amazingly beautiful and comfortable; and the setting in the Ecuadorian Andes is simply magnificent. This retreat center is the perfect place to meditate in Nature, relax, and bask in the energy of the amazing mountains and inspiring southern sky. One can also request a ceremony in their Mayan sweat lodge (with or without the sacred cactus of the area known as Huachuma or San Pedro). This is, in fact, a perfectly sacred environment to have any kind of spiritual ceremony. If you have an opportunity to spend time at TOSA Blue Mountain, don’t miss it! You will be glad you visited this most beautiful and special place. Recharge the body and soul!"

"This is the third New Year's Eve i will be spending in Tosa Blue Mountains and i cannot imagine a better place to say goodbye to one year of your life and hello to another. Tosa Blue Mountain envelops you upon arrival with layers upon layers of love, beauty, peace and joy. Every time i go there i feel 10 years younger and I look it !! You can do as much or as little as you want there but whatever you decide to do you are surrounded with Andean magic from the orchids, to the fig trees, to the hummingbirds. You can hike up the mountain slopes on the property or just sit quietly in one of the mediation rooms or beside the Blue Maria. You can use the sauna and Jacuzzi and swim in the water centre which is built like a big conservatory under the trees and hear the birds chirping all around you. This is one of my favourite things to do. The food is fresh, fresh fresh, vibrating with energy as it grows on site or is bought from local growers. The water is crystalline and the staff are wonderful. It is truly my secret paradise on earth."

"I truly love this place - it located in the mountains, with stunning views and pristine air! I was beginning every day with the meditation and was sinking in the morning glory and deep peace of that place. The energy there is so pure, loving and supportive - I was sleeping like a baby every night, and was having amazing amount of energy every day. The casitas are modern and comfortable, with nice showers and food is exceptional. I was feeling that I was living in the beautiful multidimensional space, was deeply nourished ,with so much incredible insights every day. I was truly happy there - this is one of my absolutely favorite places on the earth!"

"TOSA Blue Mountain Sanctuary is amazing. Each day you are greeted by beauty and pristine energy in the Andes Mountains. The rooms are divine, relaxing, and there is hot water, a luxury for travelers in Latin America! The amenities there are above and beyond .There is an amazing water therapy center with a pool, hot tub, and sauna. There is a central court yard, dining area, lounge, and kitchen with the BEST foods all grown on site or brought in locally. I love eating well, and I sure did! There are also meditation caves, ancient that have been there for so long, as well as other sacred temple sites around the property. There is a beautiful tree of wisdom and the temple ruins up near the top of the mountain. This site has been sacred for thousands of years and I could sure feel it! Miracles and magic happened EVERY day. Ceremonies from the sacred pipe ceremony to a Mayan Fire Ceremony, to San Pedro and so much more, were beyond any expectation. I AM going back. The hosts and care provided are top notch. The price is beyond compare. We also had additional excursions to Cuenca and to the sacred site of Ingapirca as part of my experience. All was taken care of with extreme care. This is a life changing experience. You FEEL yourself being rejuvenated from the inside out. Can't wait to go back!"

"I have been to TOSA Blue Mountain Sanctuary several times and each time spent here has been simply incredible! The Casita's are extraordinary, very comfortable and within easy access to all the nearby temples, pool and sacred spots! You have everything you truly need. No chem trails and both the day and night views are spectacular! A great place to center yourself as you are lovingly nourished with pure fresh air, crystalline drinking water and exquisite vegetarian and vegan meals that will surely excite your palate. The owner and staff are amazing and enjoy lovingly supporting you to achieve your goals and dreams while you are here so that when you go home you are uplifted and ready to embrace the next chapter of your most beautiful life. I also highly recommend partaking in the many special amenities, healing sessions and ceremonies offered to uplift your spirit, along with visiting the local indigenous day trips available with these extraordinary people. A most wonderful and magical place to spend your time in peace, love and pure joy!"
