GETTING THERE
You'll be flying into GUA - Guatemala City. You will want to fly in on January 30th and stay the evening in Antigua. From the airport you can get transportation to Antigua (not included) where you will stay the night (solo or you can arrange in our retreat FB group with other retreaters!) There are shuttles every hour from the airport to Antigua. Lodging is not included this night.
Private shuttles have been arranged for you (included in your retreat cost) for the morning of the 31st to take you directly to San Marcos la Laguna (3.5-4.5hrs depending on traffic) to The Yoga Forest Meeting Point at Circles Cafe.
The shuttle to the Yoga Forest will depart from Hotel Casa Santo Domingo in Antigua at 8 am on the morning of the 31st. You may choose to stay the previous night here or there are several hotels and airbnb's in the area.
You will be escorted up the mountain paths to the Forest- Note that this is about a 20-minute hike.
We have included porters to carry a bag up for you.
We will be awaiting at The Yoga Forest for your arrival!
The retreat will come to a close on Saturday, February 5th and we will be leaving the Forest together after a closing ceremony and brunch. We have arranged shuttles for you directly back to Antigua, to be dropped off at Hotel Casa Santo Domingo. We recommend staying a night in Antigua again and catching a plane out the next day (or stay a couple days and explore the area!).
As of current regulations, a negative COVID test is required prior to boarding both of your flights. More information on testing and details will be sent to you upon registration.
