Itinerary

We recommend participants plan to arrive a day or two early to allow themselves to acclimate to the warm weather as well as allow for travel disruptions. It can also be a great opportunity to extend your time in Costa Rica or explore other areas. If you do arrive early, this is not included in the price of the retreat.

All guests will need to arrive in San Jose on the start date of the retreat listed above. As we have two retreat dates this would be either April 13 or April 20. That first evening accommodation in san Jose is included. The entire group will be staying that evening at the same place so we are prepared for the private shuttle. The following morning (Day 1) our group will be picked up and take a private shuttle to our retreat venue in Paquera on the Nicoya Peninsula. The evening before the shuttle and the shuttle are all included in the price of the retreat package.

Want to know more about the resort and accommodations at Bahia Rica?

At Bahia Rica you will be staying in comfortable rooms in a real jungle setting. The place is perfect for relaxing in a hammock and enjoying the jungle sounds. We will have water access right from the resort for our kayaking excursions. There is also access to walking trails along the jungle paths.

This is a relaxed atmosphere that is surrounding Bahia Rica, with common areas for eating and socializing. Bahia Rica is at Punta Cuchillo on Costa Rica’s west coast. This location was selected as it is off-the-beaten path and you will get a chance to see more wildlife than nightlife, shopping and restaurants. The eco-resort is perfect for people who enjoy a calm atmosphere away from the main tourist trails.
