Reviews

Perfectly located by the river! This beautiful house is great to connect with nature- from lying in the hammock on the patio while taking in Mountain View’s, to bathing in the river, or hiking to the waterfall! We are located in an area that only allows motos or hiking to arrive. It’s about a ten-minute walk down a beautiful trail along the river. We are happy to work with our guests to provide parking if you have a vehicle, or we are happy to organize a moto ride for you.

Testimonials

info

The moment that stood out most to me was when we were all gathered in the cabin for the ceremonial cacao. We sat in a circle, shared our thoughts, listened to beautiful live guitar music. Even though each of us had a different story and came from different regions, countries, and continents, I felt such a deep sense of community, connection, and positive energy. I felt calm, joyful, and truly happy. This wasn’t just a trip where I worked out – it was a journey where I was in harmony with nature, aligned with myself, and truly free. My body could rest, and each day starting with movement became my guilty pleasure. That shared ceremony made me realize how valuable each of us is and how, together, we create a beautiful collective. It reminded me that we don’t need to be the same to belong – we just need to be present, open, and real.

Take the first step in loving yourself better and go to this retreat. Juliana and Ewa are the perfect combination of friendship and guidance and you will simply enjoy spending time with them. Now is the right time to say yes to an experience of a lifetime. You will return to your life fitter, grounded, motivated, and just happy you did something to nurture your relationship with yourself. I would go to every retreat if I could. All love ❤️ Their teachings and practices are earthy, worldly, and the perfect amount of challenging that has been accumulated from years of education, experience, and travels. The classes and teachers complement each other beautifully. The food was perfection. Local, nourishing, and made with so much love and culture. 10/10
