"Absolutely Transformational 🙏❤️ The greatest experience! "

The retreat hosted by Juan & Clara was beyond sensational. Absolutely outstanding. From the location, to the practices, the itinerary and food - it could not be faulted. I highly recommend this retreat to all locals and foreigners- it was mind blowing! And exactly what I was looking for. I would like to thanks Juan & Clara for hosting such an informative and beautiful retreat. It ticked ALL of my boxes. I can not wait to return someday soon. 💘🌻 You did so well making a foreigner who speaks English so welcomed. And thank you for patience & translations. Super recommended! 👌 🕉 ✨️ Hopefully see you in Australia one day soon! 🇦🇺

"Absolutely amazing!!"

I would highly recommend this retreat run by Clara and Juan Carlos. Everything was better than expected. The photos and description do not do it justice !!

With respect to the basics, the accommodation was gorgeous, in a luxurious, restored colonial building on farmland with an incredibly rich history (if I understood the Spanish tour correctly, even Simon Bolivar stayed there!). The food was fresh, healthy, tasty and there was lots of it.

As for the reason I went, the meditation and yoga, it was exactly what I was looking for. The yoga itself was meditative and geared towards preparation for meditation (rather than a workout). And with the meditation sessions there was a good balance between guided meditation and self-led.

The retreat was silent except for a small reflection/discussion session each evening. I appreciated hearing from others' experiences in the group.

For the English speakers, the majority of the group was Spanish but Juan Carlos and Clara did an excellent job alternating between languages and also translating the group discussions.

In summary, if you're new to retreats and looking for a couple of days to experience one but aren't yet willing to dive into a 10-day silent retreat - then this would be perfect.

"Un retiro increible!"

¡El retiro fue simplemente increíble! Me gustó todo: el lugar, la comida, las clases de meditación, el grupo y sobre todo los profesores. Sentimos que son sinceros, que ellos mismos practican la meditación y que les hace felices compartir sus conocimientos con los estudiantes. Comenzamos con los conceptos básicos de meditación y yoga, pero el enfoque de los profesores fue muy individual y se adaptó a todos (diferentes niveles, problemas de salud o situación personal). Aprendí mucho y me hizo querer continuar. También conocí a personas increíbles y pasé un gran fin de semana.

¡Muchas gracias a Clara Lucia, Juan Carlos y a todo el grupo!

Nos vemos pronto, Kasia

Honestly, everything at this retreat exceeded my expectations. The hosts/teachers were great, the accomodations were wonderful and the area was breathtaking and full of history and culture. Even the food felt like it came from an expensive restaurant. Cant wait to go back!

"Relaxing and challenging at the same time"

I really enjoyed the wonderful location, the friendly and open minded people, the delicious food and the fact that Juan Carlos and Clara really wanted to take good carr of me. Not only in the yoga and meditation sessions, but also by making a fire in the fire place at night for me when it was cold, etc.

"Magical Place, Amazing Meditation Environment"

What an amazing place, with kind, loving instructors whom are very knowledgable about their craft! From beginner to advanced meditation / yoga practices - this place for sure welcoming everyone. The food is nothing sort of amazing, and the place is magical with stunning views. The area and place was made for meditation, tranquillity and peace. :-) Thanks for all Carla & Juan Carlos!

This is my second meditation and yoga retreat in Colombia and I really liked this one much more.

Juan Carlos and Clara Lucia were wonderful. They are both very nice and kind people and also approachable and fun. They taught me a lot about different kinds of meditation and different techniques. The lessons were clear and practical.

Clara Lucia’s Emotional Transformation Therapy was more useful than any therapy that I have tried during many years.

The food was superb and the accommodations wonderful. I am planning to go back soon.

"A unique and delightful way to experience Colombia"

This was a transformational experience for me, it was an opportunity to reconnect with nature, practice meditation and yoga. The fact that they offer/include some cultural excursions is wonderful. I also appreciated the ladies that cooked our delicious meals and always making fresh fruit available to us. In addition they kept the facilities and grounds clean. The one-on-one with Clara was mind-blowing- it allowed me to look inward and really address lingering concerns. Overall this was a wonderful and worthwhile experience!

"Place to recharge yourself"

The place is incredible, since I arrived I knew I can recharge there definitely!! Clara and Juan Carlos are very nice, very professional with meditation and yoga lessons, I came as a meditation complete beginner and learnt a lot! There are trips organized which are a nice addition, food is delicious, atmosphere’s very good, logistic (transport from airport) well organized, and they are both very responsive and willing to help/advice on Bogota or Colombia places. I would love to be back! And I feel like I made great friends there!

"Beautiful Colombian Oasis"

It was a very spiritual experience for me. I expected mainly yoga but I soon realized the importance of meditation alongside yoga. Through the help of Clara and Juan Carlos, I was able to find comfortable meditation postures and use new techniques that enlightened my meditation practice. The retreat centre is very beautiful, nestled between mountains, overlooking a lagoon. The meditation/yoga temple was a wonderful and tranquil place for spirituality, decorated nicely with candles and containing coloured, stained glass. There were optional day trips that showed the history and culture of the area, all of which I enjoyed. This oasis away from busy Bogotá was exactly what I needed to recharge and reset, and I will take what I have learned and apply it to enhance my life. I would highly recommend this yoga and meditation retreat to anyone!

The retreat with Clara Lucia and Juan was an incredible experience. Not only the place is beautiful and the food is amazing, but the couple is extremely friendly and make you feel like home. I am a beginner and tried to meditate so many times before this retreat and never fully succeeded, but Juan taught us so many great techniques that were extremely helpful.

"A wonderful way to kickstart a practice"

I've struggled for most of this year to incorporate meditation into my daily life. I walked away from Retiro de la Montaña with not only valuable tools to help me establish a solid practice, but also some unexpected inspiration... Juan Carlos and Clara are wonderful instructors. Being at the retreat feels less like a retreat and more like getting to share their way of life and philosophy, which really made me feel comfortable early on in the process.

The location is also fantastic. Ample places to spend on your own and reflect, both indoors and outdoors, and being surrounded by the spectacular views really adds to the experience (the pictures don't do it justice). We were also able to put what we learned into practice with a serene and mindful walk up into the hills on the last day.

I always looked forward to meal times (after all of the work, you really need the nourishment!), which were prepared by the lovely staff at the retreat and our vegan diet was always catered for. I was always offered seconds, which I was very grateful for.

Last, but not least, there were four very cool dogs around on the property. One of them, Linda, should be given a special honorary title of instructor! She had such a fun and caring spirit and made my time up at the retreat extra special.

"Perfect"

Wonderful setting on the side of a hill overlooking a lake. Spacious grounds with everything you need. Cosy and comfortable accommodation.

Clara and Juan Carlos are great instructors and it was a pleasure to spend a few days with them. Left the retreat feeling refreshed and peaceful. Wholeheartedly recommended this experience if you're in doubt

"perfect spot to take a break for a few days"

A fellow traveller recommended this retreat to me, as he said it was one of the best things he’d done in Colombia. I have to agree. My goal was to have some time out - from phone/iPad screens, from business, and from constantly making decisions which becomes exhausting. The retreat hit the spot. The instructors were super friendly, experienced, and focused on ensuring the retreat went well. The surroundings are stunning. There is ample space to find a quiet but beautiful spot within the grounds of the finca itself, and the hike we did on one day made me realise the surrounding countryside is even more beautiful than it appears to be from the grounds of the finca. I liked the balance of free time to reflect/read/etc, spaced meditation sessions throughout the day, and the early morning yoga session to kick things off. The food was varied, healthy, and exceptional vegetarian (though, with the exception of occasional eggs and cheese, largely vegan i think). Clara and Juan Carlos were super understanding and adapted their approach, especially when i decided to stay an extra night at the end and that meant I could also do another morning of yoga/meditation.

"Special people, special space special experience"

The meditation session are really good, at this place I came to total piece with myself and the environment. Had a special experience during a meditation session, which really wouldn't have happened without the guidance of Clara and Juan Carlos.Personal session with Clara gave me also a lot of insights and tips. I really will come back here and highly recommend this place to go to for meditation, yoga, but also hiking in the beautiful surrounding mountains, the view from the place to the lake is astonishing

"Absolutely stunning views and experience overall"

To begin, I was a little nervous when I chose this retreat over other retreats in warmer places. I am so happy I did!

First of all Clara Lucia and Juan Carlos have the most amazing energy and know how hospitality. In addition to that, their meditation and yoga experience has opened my eyes and helped me move past the initial fears and hesitations about starting. It was really helpful to try different ways of meditation as well as have their guidance.

The food is outstanding at the retreat, I enjoyed every single dish and even though I stayed for 6 days it was always diverse.

The location is perfect, every day the view was a bit different due to weather and it was stunning every time. The retreat has a large footprint so you will be able to take walk around it and enjoy the nature. They also have gorgeous dogs on the premises that will make you even happier.

The excursions were fun and different every time, I’ve got to experience things I’ve never seen before.

No words can describe how happy I am that I’ve stayed here. Please do yourself a favor and stay here and you will not be disappointed

"... once in a lifetime experience."

I don’t even know where to start... maybe with the warm welcome from the most generous hosts, the breathtaking views or the transformational mediation classes. I could go on for hours...

Coming from across the pond, not knowing what to expect, I certainly was ecstatic about the hidden treasure I found at the Retiro de la Montaña.

"Incredible Weekend "

I'm new to meditation and yoga. After living in Bogotá for over a year, I began to look for ways to find balance and peace in my daily city life. This retreat is amazing and beneficial for all levels of practice.

The energy, the tranquility and beauty of the finca, the food (delicious!), the friendly animals, and (of course) the guides/hosts were all spectacular. I came with very little expectations for the weekend - just some time to disconnect and self-reflect. But Clara Lu and Juan Carlos opened my eyes to so much more.

I'd highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is hoping to deepen their connections and understandings with spirituality, thought habits or emotions. And the finca is stunning.

Also, I'm still in the process of learning Spanish (me defiendo jaja) and this entire weekend was great practice. Options for explanations in English are also available, but why not try in Spanish? Juan Carlos has several songs and mantras that are lovely to listen to.

"Didn’t want to leave"

This retreat was so good due to a lot of things.

First of all, Clara Lucía and Juan Carlos. Beautiful, genuinely good and warm hearted people. You can tell they are doing this from the bottom of their hearts. And so nice to be around them, they are such good hosts in a very relaxed way.

Juan Carlos had very good yoga classes since they were balanced and diverse.

Clara Lucía has a great voice for guided meditation and in one of the sessions with I had the greatest experience ever of a meditation.

The environment is amazing!

The food was really good and really filling! Later I found out that’s all traditional Colombian food.

The meditation temple was one of my favorites spots, along with the tiled terrace you can see on the photos.

I had been struggling a bit with stress in the months before the retreat and even though we only spent 3 whole days there it helped me a lot.

Overall such a good place, people and experience.

Thanks again Juan and Clara.

This was my first meditation yoga retreat experience. I love love love Clara and Juan they are authentic kind souls who are truly servants, helping people better their life. I am truly grateful I decided to attend this retreat, it was such a beautiful experience that took place in the mountains. The retreat has helped me with clarity and direction while transitioning on my journey. I have gained knowledge on how to apply the tools to my life daily.

Thank you for opening your beautiful home. Staff cooking is very delicious. The farmland is such a beautiful sight to view with plenty of places to sit and relax. Also, the animals are sweet and friendly with enjoyment and love for people. I truly enjoyed the hiking experience and fellowship. I will be back to visit; by the way, I am loving my coffee and sugar cane. Thank you:)

"Fantastische retraite "

Clara en Carlos zijn fantastisch en je voelt je direct thuis. Ik was er helaas maar 3 nachtjes wat van mij wel wat langer had mogen duren, maar ze zaten helaas vol. De locatie is prachtig en rustgevend. De lessen van Carlos zijn goed en hebben mij erg geholpen. Hij heeft veel kennis en legt alles in het Engels en Spaans uit. De privé sessie met Clara was bijzonder en zal je emotioneel verder helpen. Het eten is gezond/vega en ontzettend lekker. Wil je tot rust komen en meer leren over mediteren en yoga, Carlos en Clara gaan je zeker een stap verder helpen. Ik kom graag nog eens terug naar deze lieve mensen!

"Truly an unforgettable experience! "

I've practiced Vinyasa yoga for 7 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, but this was my 1st time at a multi-day yoga retreat, as well as my 1st time practicing meditation. I spent 5 days at Retiro de la Montaña & cannot wait to find an opportunity to return.

It's hard to capture the beauty of the retreat house through photos; it's the type of place that you need to see for yourself to take it in all at once. The retreat house is located on top of a mountain overlooking Tominé Reservoir. It has a gorgeous garden, swings, volleyball court, & even a lovely farm with dogs, goats, & geese, which truly add to the charm of the place. You can also find benches sprinkled throughout the garden for leisurely reading and lounging.

My favorite place on the property was the meditation temple, where many of the lessons were held. Juan & Clara would warm the room with space heaters and dimly light the room with candles -- the temple was perfectly conducive to the type of relaxed environment needed to practice meditation.

However, what makes this retreat truly memorable are the hosts. Juan & Clara are not only phenomenal instructors who carefully customized yoga & meditation sessions, but they are also attentive & gracious retreat hosts, property managers, chefs, tour guides, & so much more! It was such a joy to spend time with & learn from the kind and talented couple.

Finally, I must commend the fantastic home-cooked vegetarian meals, made from flavorful local produce. So delicious.

"I highly recommend you to spend few days in this paradise"

I practice yoga and meditation since about 1 year and a half. This yoga and meditation retreat was my first one and I really loved EVERYTHING. Don't worry if you have never tried yoga or meditation before. This retreat is really for everyone : the level is adapted to all and you get to learn a lot, regardless your level. The place is really beautiful and peaceful. The teachers are really nice and welcoming.

You are encourage to maintain silence and it is actually a really good experience that you should not fear. You'll adapt quickly to it.

You have different activities so your day is full but you can also have free time to rest.

The food is vegetarian and vegan-friendly and it is delicious and you have more than enough food to feel full.

Don't ask yourself more questions and book this yoga retreat if you're looking for few relaxing days finding inner peace :)

The cultural excursions and informative video’s a very nice add on and i enjoyed all of them.

There are many tourist attractions around, make sure you visit Guatavita town, Lake Guatavita, Nimocon town and salt mines, etc.

Clara Lou and Juan Carlo are amazing hosts, hospitable and accommodating. The food was nutritious and delicious.

Carlos and Clara will welcome you in there home and treat you as their family. Taking really good care of you!

The place is so beautiful and quite, really big garden with some animals and a nice tempel where you can enjoy some good yoga and meditation sessions. Also the food is delicious and fresh. (ask them to make you the oatmeal pancakes for breakfast!)

Everything is really easy going and you have a lot of time for yourself to read a book or chill in the garden.

Retiros de la montaña is located within 90 minutes of Bogota.

The centre is open to all different teachings and religious or non-religious perspectives. Clara and Juan Carlos run a retreat geared toward individuals or small groups and mostly in silence.

"Retreat in the Mountains of Sesquilé Colombia"

All aspects of the retreat. The housing was supreme, the totally vegetarian meals were the best I've had (possibly the Colombian type of foods). And the classes were slighlty modified due to a knee injury. I received additional exercises to strengthen my knee and I am very pleased with the extra attention given, due to this challenge I have.

I plan on returning in a few months for a week's retreat!!!

Clara and Juan Carlos were wonderful hosts, welcoming us to their slice of paradise outside Bogota. We spent three days practicing yoga and meditation with plenty of alone time to read, think, nap, write or hang out with their sweet animals. I left with a new appreciation for meditation and a renewed source of energy! The hosts were very accommodating, the rooms were well appointed and the food was fantastic.
