Rocky and Sarah will work with you one-on-one to put together a price based on your desired experience, and are committed to making their retreats affordable and accessible to those that are interested in participating. You have the option of shared or single accommodations, spa services, and additional adventure tours, all of which will affect your pricing. Regardless of your total cost, you will receive a $200 discount if you register by Sep. 1st.
Is airfare included in the cost of the retreat?
No it is not. What is included is twice daily yoga, all meals, transportation to and from the airport, several adventure tours, and accommodations. We recommend that you sign up and book your travel early, as flights can become costly toward the end of the year.
What Is Expected upon Arrival To Costa Rica?
When booking flights we highly recommend that you take an early morning flight to San Jose International airport to arrive in Costa Rica before 1:00pm. Once you arrive you have a 4 hour drive through the magical and absolutely breath taking mountains of Costa Rica and a scenic ride along the coast through its capital city Limon to Tierra de Suenos Retreat Center. If you are in before 1:00pm your retreat price will include transportation to and from the airport. If your flight arrives after 1:00pm you will need to arrange your own transportation. We will work with you to help in this process.
What is the weather and temperature?
The local temperature is 80-85 degrees (28 C) year around. The climate has often been called a "micro-climate", implying that the variable factors affecting this region are independent from the rest of the neighbouring areas. This region shares very little in common with the rest of the country's weather cycles and prognostication, as the rainy season is often blessed with several weeks of dry, hot and sunny days, while tropical showers can be experienced during the summer season. The best time to travel to Costa Rica is late November through April. If you are looking for great weather, you are almost guaranteed sunny skies and rain-free days.
When do we check in and out?
Check-In time: 2:00 PM. Check -Out Time: 2:00 PM. Electricity voltage and plugs are the same as in the US 110 volts Each room is equipped with a safe deposit box, fan, as well as other amenities. Tierra offers laundry services if requested.
What are the essentials to bring on my trip?
Be sure to plan for both the heat and rain. Sneakers or hiking shoes and flip flops. The jungle loves to ruin leather so plastic footwear is better! Long pants for excursions, a coat or sweater for those cooler evenings. A bathing suit, yoga apparel, umbrella, flash light your own personal hygiene and care products. Yoga mats and props are available, but bring your own if you wish.
