Description of the Site:
Your retreats will be held at the beautiful Tierra de Suenos Wellness and Retreat centre. Tierra de Sueños is nestled in the jungle right next to some of the best beaches in Costa Rica. The center is just outside the resort town of Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica with typical warm and turquoise Caribbean beaches. This is as far East and South in Costa Rica as one can get.
Monkeys, toucans, sloths and other wildlife inhabit the area and are seen and heard overhead. There is infrared sauna, massage, reiki and yoga on site. You can experience the quiet and refreshing area around the retreat center OR you can go into Puerto Viejo for an active nightlife.
As an Eco Lodge in a remote area of the country we are considered off the beaten track. We keep things simple and do our best to protect the beautiful area where we are situated. Submersed in the jungle and right across the street from the beach you will find simplicity - clean air, healthy food, active life and easeful living. True PURA VIDA!
When you arrive on site, you will immediately be set about to relax and rejuvenate from your travels. After settling in you may feel teleported from stresses back home. The Tierra de Suenos staff are very much caretakers and they are there to be your liaisons to this new area.

Meals:
Meals:
Special arrangements for non-vegetarian, raw or vegan, snacks, desserts or special dietary concerns can be arranged and may include an additional cost. We do serve dessert at our welcome dinner on the first night and the celebration dinner on the last or second to last night.
Coffee, tea and drinking water are always included and available. Fresh juices are served with each meal. Alcohol is allowed on site but not served or provided. A local grocery store is a 2-min walk away.
If you would like a non-vegetarian menu you can request in advance that we serve your dinners with chicken and/or fish in the evening.
Any allergies or dietary restrictions of participants needs to be communicated AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE the retreat starts. We cannot guarantee we can accommodate dietary adjustments if given notice within 10 days.
Is Costa Rica like vacationing in Mexico?
No, this is not an all inclusive vacation centre with buffets and bottomless drinks and in fact it is a different approach altogether. The Caribbean of Costa Rica has minimal access to supplies and large vendors but instead has a bounty of fresh delicious fruits, coconuts, fish and vegetables. We use these foods and others to make the most delicious and nourishing meals you could image. All homemade, all from scratch, and all fresh to your table. You may notice the the foods are refreshing and cleansing. We offer clean health drinking water, fresh vitalized air, and then top that off with local caribbean delights in food and culture! It’s truly a unique experience.
Because importation is very costly and limited we source locally and buy loads of fresh foods from markets. You will notice that conservation, recycling and reusing is a way of life throughout the country, but especially here in the remote area of the caribbean.
Is Costa Rica cheap?
An interesting thing about Costa Rica is that you may find that it is not as inexpensive as you may have been told or expected. There was a point in time where things were much less. But the dynamics in the economy have definitely shifted over the years and made it such that the cost of many things like transportation, tours, food, souvenirs and massages are comparable to what you would pay in your home country. So plan your financials as you would for a trip in your home country.
Preparing for Costa Rica:
Costa Rica is a rugged lush rainforested country. That’s part of the charm and also part of the challenge! Costa Rica is not like North America and to understand “pura vida” (pure life) means to learn to go with the flow. The infrastructure in Costa Rica is not up to the same standards of North America, and while everything works most of the time, sometimes things happen!
We are located in Puerto Viejo, which is an area that is a little remote in Costa Rica. We are right in the jungle and out in nature, which is why people come here. But coming here means relaxing and understanding that sometimes things can happen and don’t 100% of the time work as well as they do in the US.
EcoFriendly:
We reuse as much as possible. We compost our waste. Everything goes back into nature here. We are eco friendly and use very little chemicals. We are also right in the midst of the jungle so expect a natural environment. Remember that here we can’t separate ourselves so definitively from nature as is possible in the US.
The Planning Process:
Travelling to the centre can be made to be smooth and easy when there is coordination across the whole group. We are 4-5 hours from the San Jose airport but the drive is pretty cool and relaxing if you are a passenger and if time permits you will have a stop along the way for an optional meal.
Tours and Activities available from the Site:
One of the best parts of your trip is including some fun activities that speak to you and what you want to experience in Costa Rica. Additionally, tours are something that many groups love to do together and include everyone. Tours are booked through the lodge and can be booked in advance or when you arrive on site.
