Enjoy hot showers and cool breezes from the overhead fan and large screened windows.
While staying in Tierra de Suenos, you can experience ecotourism by getting close to nature, sleeping to the sounds of the jungle, organic toiletries, fresh linens, biodegradable cleaning products, and relaxing in the hammock on your front porch. Observe heliconias, monkeys, sloths, hummingbirds, toucans, agoutis, and much more. The casitas are adorned with orthopedic mattresses and cozy cotton towels.
The beds are equipped with canopy mosquito nets to protect you from possible mosquitoes but also add to a rustic and romantic ecotourism experience for your stay in beautiful Costa Rica.

Retreat location
The retreat will take place in Tierra de Suenos Retreat and Wellness center, an ecotourism paradise located in the beach community of Playa Chiquita, six kilometers south of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Playa Chiquita is an international neighborhood that celebrates ecotourism, nature, and diversity. This small community has everything you need within walking distance.
Some of its neighbors include several delicious restaurants, bakeries, a specialty grocer, markets and vendors, and holistic and massage specialists onsite. The retreat center is just a five-minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast of Costa Rica. After walking down a nature trail across the road, you will find the unspoiled Playa Chiquita with reefs for snorkeling, palm tree covers for shady lounging, and, depending on the time of year, either waves for surfing or the calmest waters for swimming.
Puerto Viejo is four to five hours from San Jose with many options for transportation including car rental, shuttles, bus options, and even flights from San Jose to the nearest city of Limon. If you are adventurous, Panama is only a short distance away and can easily be visited on a day trip. Biking on beach cruiser bikes is a favorite of many visitors, drifting from beach to beach, vendor to vendor, or going slow and taking in the Caribbean.
