No - all practices are gentle and suitable for any level. This retreat is about connection, not performance.

Absolutely. Most women join solo - and leave feeling deeply connected.
At this retreat will be an intimate group of up to 8 women

Not at all. This is your time - you’re free to join what feels right and rest when you need.

Yes, this can be arranged on an individual basis - just let us know what feels right for you. Right after the retreat, we’ll also be hosting an Art Weekend, and retreat participants will have access to a special rate if they’d like to stay for an additional 3 days.

Most participants are between 30 and 55 years old, but all adult women are welcome. We believe: age is just a figure.

We recommend bringing light comfortable clothing, a rain jacket, comfortable shoes for nature walks, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. Evenings can feel fresh in the mountains, so a light sweater can also be helpful.

The retreat is located in a quiet natural area about 30 minutes from La Fortuna town. This allows guests to enjoy a peaceful environment while still being relatively close to local attractions such as Arenal Volcano, waterfalls, and hot springs.

Is the retreat suitable if I want quiet and relaxation?
La Tigra Mountain House is located in a peaceful mountain setting surrounded by nature. It is an ideal place to disconnect from daily stress, relax, and enjoy the sounds and beauty of the rainforest.

Because the retreat is located in a natural environment, you may hear jungle sounds at night and see birds, butterflies and other small wildlife during the day. This is part of the authentic rainforest experience and one of the special aspects of staying in this region.

Internet connection may be limited compared to large cities, which creates a wonderful opportunity to slow down, disconnect from daily routines, and fully immerse yourself in the retreat experience and the beauty of nature.

Will there be rain?
Costa Rica has a tropical climate, and short rain showers are possible, especially in the afternoons. These tropical rains are usually brief and refreshing and help keep the surrounding forests lush and vibrant.

Are there insects?
Yes, as the retreat is located in a tropical forest environment, insects are a natural part of the ecosystem. Most are harmless, and the retreat spaces are well-maintained. Bringing insect repellent can help you stay comfortable.

Costa Rica is a welcoming destination for travelers from many countries. Citizens of the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, and many other countries do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. A valid passport is required, and it should be valid for the duration of your stay.
Upon arrival, immigration officials may ask for proof of onward travel (such as a return or departure ticket) and confirmation of accommodation that we will provide.
Visa requirements can change depending on your nationality, so we recommend checking the latest information with the Costa Rican embassy or official immigration website in your country before traveling. Please make sure your travel documents are valid and prepared in advance to ensure a smooth arrival.

We also strongly recommend purchasing travel and health insurance that covers international travel, medical care, and trip interruptions. While Costa Rica has good healthcare services, travel insurance provides peace of mind and helps cover unexpected situations.

In Costa Rica, the standard voltage is 120V and the frequency is 60 Hz. The most common plug types are Type A and Type B, the same as those used in the United States and Canada.
Most visitors from North America will not need an adapter. If you are traveling from Europe or other regions, you may need a plug adapter and possibly a voltage converter for certain devices. It is always recommended to check your electronics before traveling.
Electricity at eco-retreat locations may be used mindfully to support sustainable practices, so guests are encouraged to conserve energy when possible.

November in La Fortuna marks the transition from the rainy season to the beginning of the dry season. The landscape is especially lush and vibrant after the rains, with rivers, waterfalls, and forests at their most beautiful.

The climate is warm and tropical throughout the year, with temperatures usually ranging between 22–30°C (72–86°F).

As part of the tropical climate, rains and short tropical showers are common, especially in the afternoons. These rains are usually refreshing and help keep the forests vibrant, green, and full of life.
