Price does not include:
-
You are responsible for:
your airfare and
reservations to travel
to San Jose, Costa Rica
from wherever you are
now.
-
Arriving in San
Jose:
best to fly in
on or
before
February 11th.
Angus & I will be
staying at
Orquideas Inn
on February 11 and 19th.
You can make a
reservation yourself
online at
www.orquideasinn.com
- that is where the van
will pick us up to drive
us to Samasati on the
morning of February
12th. Make sure
you book your hotel
at
least 30 days in advance
- I recommend booking
earlier than that if
possible. It is
possible to fly into San
Jose in the wee hours of
the morning and take a
taxi to the hotel to
meet the group - if you
don't mind missing out
on a nights' sleep.
Talk to Karen while you
are considering
reservations. I
have done it several
times, I prefer shorter
flights and staying in Orquideas Inn before and
after the retreat so
that I do not get tired
or stressed out.
It is worth the extra
cost of two nights in
hotel. You can
always share your hotel
room with others in the
group to save money.
-
See more options below.
At Samasati:
Bring your snorkeling gear!
We know a great beach we can
share a cab & show you where
to snorkel! (no extra
cost besides the cab ride
from Puerto Viejo-- that
could be maybe 2-3 bucks a
person one way when we
share!) This is such a
great adventure!

Expect to
spend around $2,000 to $2,500 minimum for this vacation. You
could do it for a little bit less, email Karen for more
information about that - (such as lodging in the group
house, sharing hotel room in San Jose.. Buying your
airline ticket at just the right time --30 days out is
usually BEST - you can expect to pay up to $500 more if you
do not book exactly 30 days out!
It
is an unbelievable experience - Angus & I have been here
twice and are completely in love with going there. I
would live there in a heartbeat - especially in winters!
What's
free or inexpensive? Beaches, walks in the rainforest
at Samasati (stay in the paths & listen to any warnings
first!), inexpensive treats await in nearby villages! ! !
Monkey & other rainforest sounds.
Come to this retreat
with any intention - to have a great, restful vacation, to deepen your yoga
practice or to take a good look at your life from another point of view
(vacation!). Experience the peace & beauty of the Caribbean rainforest &
beaches. You can also opt out &
spend as much time as you want in quiet
solitude.
