Book your international flight to Santiago (SCL), the capital of Chile. From Santiago, fly to the southern town of Punta Arenas (PUQ). Plan to arrive no later than mid-afternoon on the first day. You will be picked up and transferred to the hotel where we have our welcome dinner and spend the night.

For the departure day, book your flight from Punta Arenas with a departure time not before 4:30 pm. If you need to get on an earlier flight, there is an extra charge for the transfer from EcoCamp to Punta Arenas.

A passport valid for at least six months from the arrival date in Chile is required (check your passport’s expiration date). Currently an entry visa is not required for U.S., Canadian, and most European citizens.

For all nationalities check with your country’s embassy in Chile to confirm current entry requirements and travel.

Chile is in the southern hemisphere so the seasons are opposite from North America. November is the beginning of summer time. Days can be beautiful blue skies with an average of 50s-60sF and evenings cooler. The weather in the Patagonia region can be extreme and unpredictable so it is essential to be prepared for a diversity of conditions. Upon booking the retreat you will receive an extensive information package to help plan for the trip.

The retreat is limited to 16 persons to ensure an optimal group travel experience and personalized attention for each guest. The minimum required to run the retreat is six persons. Many guests who join our retreats are single/solo travelers. Please feel very welcome to come on your own. It will be an incredible experience!

Some retreat guests are not able or do not want to do the 14-mile (22 km) round-trip trek to las Torres. As with all activities and tours, this is of course optional. Some guests choose to do another guided activity offered by EcoCamp that day (included in the retreat package) or take a rest and massage day. If you want to join the retreat but are not sure if this trek is for you, no problem. You are free to opt-out. You can also decide the day before the trek if you want to go or not too.

• Travel insurance is required for this trip.*

A US $800 deposit confirms your reservation. Full payment is due 90 days before the retreat. Should you need to cancel your reservation before the final payment due date, you will receive a refund for payment made less the deposit amount.

Should you need to cancel after the final payment due date, for whatever reason, we will not be able to provide a refund, transfer, or credit. The only exception is if a replacement can be found. No refund or credit will be given for arriving late, departing the retreat early, or for meals/activities in which one does not participate.

If force majeure (e.g. pandemic, natural disaster, country travel restrictions, etc.) causes a retreat to be canceled, we will offer a rescheduled date for the retreat. In this case, there is no refund of payments when a retreat cannot be held due to causes beyond our control. If you are unable to join at the rescheduled date, a portion of your payment may be applicable for a transfer to a different retreat in the future. This will be determined at the time and depends on factors such as how far out it is from the retreat date.

In the unlikely event Vajra Sol needs to cancel a retreat for non–force majeure reasons, a full refund will be given. Vajra Sol will not be held accountable for expenses incurred by the guest for any type of cancelation.

If you have any questions about your travel plans, feel free to contact us with have any questions.

This cancelation policy is subject to change until a reservation is confirmed.

Travel insurance is required for the Patagonia Adventure Yoga Retreat. We will be in a remote area and should there be any medical emergency, you will need to have coverage for evacuation, if needed. Additionally, you will want coverage for any unplanned changes or events that may occur before or during your trip, such as trip cancelation, delayed flights, lost luggage, and more.

We recommend travel insurance with IMGlobal (International Medical Group). You may customize what you need for travel and/or international emergency medical insurance. Check with your home health insurance provider to see if and for what you are covered when traveling outside the U.S.
