Our retreat will be held at Samasati Nature Retreat, a lush sanctuary nestled in the rainforest just above Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, one of our favorite towns in all of Costa Rica.

Samasati is perched on a jungle hillside with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea, just a short 15-minute drive from the beach. It’s a peaceful, natural setting perfect for deep rest, inner work, and connection to nature.

Puerto Viejo is a vibrant coastal town known for its laid-back atmosphere, Afro-Caribbean culture, delicious food, reggae music, and stunning beaches. Between its crystal-clear waters, nearby waterfalls, and warm-hearted community, it’s a place that draws you into the rhythm of the Earth and invites you to slow down, soften, and receive.

This option allows you to fully drop in and receive the retreat experience, knowing your child is nearby and cared for. There will still be plenty of free time to enjoy adventures together as a family.

If you’d rather opt out of Kids Camp:

• Your child (ages 2–6) can join for $235 (meals + accommodation)

Shuttle to and from San Jose is included!

There will be one shuttle picking guests up at Adventure Inn at 8am on July 25th. We are recommending guests to fly into SJO and book the night at Adventure Inn on July 24th to be ready to join the group shuttle Saturday morning.

The return shuttle will leave Samasati around 7:30 AM on July 31st, heading straight to San José (SJO) airport. The drive typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, depending on traffic and weather conditions.

With that in mind, you have two options:

• Book a later afternoon flight on July 31st (to allow for travel time and airport check-in),
  or

• Stay overnight in San José on the 31st and fly out the following day.

Airport Transfers The closest international airport to Samasati is Juan Santamaria Airport (SJO) in San Jose. This international airport is a 4-6 hour drive from Samasati or 90 minutes of travel via domestic flight to Limon airport with a shuttle ride to Samasati.

1. 4 – 6 hour scenic drive with local food along the way

If you are in a road trip / exploration mood you can drive, take a private taxi or a shuttle service. The middle part of the drive is quite scenic as you will go through the mountains in a national park and you will get to stop over at spots serving local food. This drive duration will vary on traffic and how long you stop.

The shuttle ride is about $52 per person and the private taxi is $200.  If there are more than 6 of you, we would charter a private shuttle for you which would be more cost effective.

Please check https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ for the latest schedule for departures from San Jose Airport to Samasati ( enter Puerto Viejo as the destination  to get the schedule). Caribe recommends that you land 90 – 120 mins before the departure of the shuttle as it could take time to go through customs and collect luggage.  However, our guests have made it with an hour to spare if you want to take that chance.

2. Local plane  ( https://www.flysansa.com/en )

If you would rather just land and get here as quickly as possible there are local flights available:

– SJO To Limon Airport- 35 minute flight – about $100
Caribe Shuttle (https://www.caribeshuttle.com/) from Limon to Samasati – 40 minute drive – about $22

Overnight Stay before heading to Samasasti

If you land too late to make the shuttle or the flight, then you can stay overnight at our partner hotel https://www.adventure-inn.com/ – they will give you a discount if you mentioned Samasati Yoga & Wellness Retreat referred you.
