Setting

Set on 50 hectares of private land in Putumayo, the retreat grounds bring together jungle, river access, open-air dining, and quiet corners for resting. A maloka, fire place, hammock lounge, and jungle jacuzzi give the place a communal yet unhurried feel.

A typical day

Daily structure varies by retreat, so ask the center about wake-up times, ceremony hours, and meal rhythms before booking. Between gatherings, guests can spend time by the river, in the hammock lounge, or exploring the grounds.

Accommodation

Guests stay in six individual cabins. The property also has four bathrooms, two showers with hot water, a communal kitchen and dining room, towels, and housekeeping.

What to bring

Pack comfortable clothes for retreat activities, sturdy shoes, and a waterproof layer for the forest setting. The annual average temperature is 13.4°C, so bring warm layers too, especially during the wetter months of April, May, and October.
