Finding Pura Vida offers travelers a unique opportunity to rejuvenate amidst stunning natural beauty. Surrounded by lush jungle and vibrant wildlife, participants can immerse themselves in a tranquil environment that enhances their overall well-being. The warm climate and soothing sounds create a perfect backdrop for yoga practices, meditation, and mindfulness. 

This retreat includes, not only a fun, cultural adventure, but also a way to restore mind, body and soul - especially after our long dark winter months here in the northern parts of the US. As with all  CCJ small group tours, travelers get to connect with like-minded individuals which in turn fosters a sense of community and support. It makes it a lot easier to unwind and embrace individual growth. For anyone looking for a post-winter pick-me-up, this is going to be an amazing, transformative experience!
