Yoga & Adventure Vacations

These trips are fully guided, all-inclusive packages.

Arenal & Pacific Trip

We begin this trip by visiting the area around Arenal Volcano, one of the most active and impressive volcanoes in the Americas. We horseback ride and hike to a remote waterfall on a private mountain reserve. We soak in healing thermal springs at the base of Arenal Volcano. We then travel to the Pacific Coast where we zipline through the treetops on a rainforest canopy tour. The following day we paddle in sea kayaks along the Bahia Bellena Marine National Park exploring uninhabited beaches. Enjoy a free day to relax, visit the town of Dominical, shop or hang out at the beach. We stay in spacious bungalows and enjoy daily 1.5-hour yoga sessions in the open air of the tropics.

Arrival/departure: San Jose international airport.

	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.

Group Size

We limit each trip/retreat to 10-12 persons. It is important to us to maintain a personal touch and to provide quality service and we have found this size to be ideal for meals, outings and general comfort for group travel.

Thinking of the Environment

A pervasive theme on VAJRA SOL trips and retreats is a focus on your connection with nature and to appreciate the natural world for what it offers to us. We place a high importance on upholding the environmental and social practices of a responsible traveler and choose hotels, tour operators and other service providers that show an effort to minimize adverse effects on the environment where and when possible.

Accommodations

The accommodations on our trips and retreats range from yoga retreat lodges, to beach bungalows to small, intimate hotels. Each has its own charming characteristics with a yoga-friendly and nature-oriented ambiance. A number of the hotels have received the very distinguished Sustainable Tourism Certification for their efforts to operate with a high consideration for the environment. Contact us for the full details including accommodations of a specific trip or retreat.

Meals

All meals are included in the package cost unless noted in the retreat document. Costa Rican cuisine is generally very fresh and healthy with lots of fruit with staple foods including rice, black beans and plantains. There is a variety of fusion cuisine offered at all the locations we visit. Vegetarian meals are available and should you have special dietary needs please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
