Experience
Yoga retreats to help you reconnect with nature through permaculture living
We are happy to welcome you to Rancho Delicioso eco-village here in Costa Rica.
Stay with us for a week to experience the permaculture way of sustainable living. Discover the power of nature with our permaculture yoga retreats. Head deep into the Costa Rican jungle and find yourself as you strip away the busyness of your day-to-day.
Play with nature, experience life inside an authentic eco-village, and taste fresh foods from our organic farm during your retreat.
Permaculture is a word we use to describe harmonious and sustainable living practices. Everything from the foods we eat to the architecture of our eco-village is designed to leave as small of a human footprint as possible.
During your stay with us, you’ll spend a week interacting with the jungle’s most lovable animals. From goats and chickens to monkeys and exotic birds, you’ll be immersed in their habitat as you reconnect with nature.
As our guest, you’ll experience the refreshing taste of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables from our community garden.
At night, you’ll head to your private sleeping area in the heart of the jungle. At every step of your journey, we make sure you and the environment interact as naturally as possible for a truly organic experience.
For guests who want to go deeper, we also teach a full Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course at Rancho Delicioso.
