He is certified in both areas and lives what he teaches to others.
Retreat location
Where the jungle meets the ocean!
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is situated on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, along the country's pristine and lively Caribbean coast. It is known for its lush rainforests, beautiful beaches, and diverse cultural influences. With a mix of Afro-Caribbean, Tico, and foreigners, this community is a melting pot of diversity, flavor, and authenticity.
Puerto Viejo is for nature lovers who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. This gem of a place is full of spots to explore, relax, and adventure in.
It is the center of biodiversity of the world. Serene beaches are within walking distance, while waterfalls, national parks, and jungle walks are all in the surrounding areas. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the howler monkeys and the distant calls of toucans or scarlet macaws.
The energy there is nothing short of magical, with vistas that seamlessly blend the majestic ocean and verdant jungle of green, as well as lush trees and flora in all directions. It's a tranquil heaven where the rhythm of the waves and the whispers of the trees synchronize to create an orchestra of serenity.
It is a space where intentions are set, and where you are invited to peel away the layers and come back to your authentic self. Nature becomes your ally, a healing force that works in tandem with the land's enchantment to elevate your consciousness and support you in embracing the present moment.
Welcome to the Pura Vida lifestyle, where every moment is an invitation to live fully, love deeply, and thrive in the embrace of Costa Rica's natural wonders.

How to get there
Recommended Airports
LIO
Limón International Airport

Transfer available for additional US$ 90 per person
SJO

Transfer available for additional US$ 375 per person
Arrival by airplane
Please book your flight to arrive at Limón International Airport (LIO) or Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). Transfers from and to these airports are not included in the price.
To get to the location, you’ll have to fly first to Juan Santamaría International Airport of San José. There are over 300 weekly international flights to the Costa Rican capital.
The closest airport is Limón International, just 50 minutes away from the hotel. SANSA Airlines offers daily services from San José to Limón (less than an hour) early in the morning or in the afternoon. Le Cameleon Boutique Hotel can arrange your private transfer from the airport to the hotel.
Arrival by car
Renting a car would be a comfortable option if you feel comfortable driving car in Central America and if you'd like to explore the area independently.
If you prefer relaxing and mostly staying at the location, a car is not really needed down there. Tuk-tuks will be driving you wherever you want.
Arrival by bus
Arrival by bus is possible, but not recommended - only if you have been there already and are very familiar with Central American / Costa Rican bus travels.
However, this would by far be the most economic option, with 11 USD from San José to Puerto Viejo. It's a five and a half hour-ride with one bathroom stop after about three hours (no bathroom in the bus).
Arrival by shared shuttle
You can also order a comfortable shared shuttle bus service (mypinkbus or Caribe Shuttle) for 65 USD. The shuttle will pick you up at the airport / hotel and take you to the Dragonfly in Punta Uva, near Puerto Viejo. The ride is about five hours, with typically two stops. Travel and waiting time will depend on how many other people will be with you (up to 10 passengers).
