La Montana Azul
Let the rainforest set the rhythm
Set among Costa Rican mountain greenery and the sounds of the Talari River, La Montana Azul gives retreats a distinctly close-to-nature setting. The property includes a private nature reserve, so time away from sessions can mean jungle air and the river’s steady presence. At the Templo de Práctica, wide views create a memorable backdrop for meditation, movement and group work. The center hosts retreats, workshops and holistic events, with lodging in several styles and communal spaces that make gathering part of the stay. Vegetarian meals bring a gourmet-fusion touch to the retreat experience. La Montana Azul is a paid retreat venue, and each event shapes the program and daily rhythm. Check the center’s website for retreat-specific details, including dates, schedules and stay arrangements.
