Yoga & Adventure Vacations
Costa Rica is so impressively diverse in ecosystems and landscapes to visit one location would only be sampling a small part of what the country has to offer. We have two exceptional itineraries which consist of visits to different destinations to experience this truly magical land. The locations are off the beaten path and really give you the feel of being away from it all with the beach locations being close to lively and colorful villages to experience the local culture. You will stay at charming hotels, idyllic eco-lodges and savor delectable and healthy cuisine. Each day includes a yoga session and an adventure outing that will energize, thrill and inspire you beyond your expectations!
These 9-day trips are fully guided, all-inclusive packages.

The
Yoga is what
threads all the components of your vacation together. Allowing you time to deepen or renew your practice, to reap the benefits of yoga during your vacation and also connect to the enlivening and healing energy of Costa Rica’s natural beauty is what sets VAJRA SOL trips apart from other yoga retreats or adventure vacations. While there are many days filled with exciting and energizing activities we do not forget the value of taking time to be still. There is ample time to relax in a hammock, receive a massage or meditate in a quiet spot along the river or beach and commune with nature.
