During this retreat, you will be staying in Eden on the Chocolata which is an eco-lodge in a beautiful garden on the road named La Chocolata. The luxury cabanas have been built to give you the experience of living among nature without compromising on your comforts.
Eden on the Chocolata believes in an ethical approach to all aspects of business and tread lightly on the environment, therefore it runs on solar power, and the glass, papers, and plastics are recycled.
Inspired by nature, Eden has six 40-meter square private wooden cabanas. Every bungalow has its own king-size bed (or you can separate the bed into two single beds), mosquito net, fan, private bathroom, and balcony with a Nica-style hammock.
Eden will be your home away from home where you can get into the habit of doing yoga, being active, eating healthy, take the time to wind down, relax and make new friends over family-style dinners.

Arrival by airplane
You can book your flight to arrive at Augusto C. Sandino International Airport (MGA) in Managua, Nicaragua. It is also possible to book your flight to Liberia in Costa Rica, but then you have to cross the border, which is normally not difficult. Both options are around a 2.5-hour drive away.
Eden on the Chocolata offers (free of charge) a taxi from Managua airport to Eden only on Saturdays at noon. If you arrive another day or time, they can set up a taxi for you for 90 USD one way.
The transport from Eden to the airport (or other places) is not included in the price. From Liberia, it is 160 USD one way or you can take the local bus, which is much cheaper. Local buses are around 5-10 USD and shuttles are between 25-35 USD. Shuttle companies are Iskra Travel, Caribe shuttle, and Casa Oro.
If you want to book a taxi, let Eden on the Chocolata know your flight details and we take it from there. It’s best to try to arrive between mid-morning and mid-afternoon and depart from noon onwards. But you can also come and leave at other times. Taxi can be taken 24/7 or you can stay overnight near the airport.
