Schedule
The itinerary is available on our website under the header ‘Retreats’.
 
Getting There
Check your passport expiration date to make sure you have at least one year left before it expires. No Visas are needed for Americans in Colombia.
 
You will fly to Bogota the capitol city of Colombia if you are coming from the USA or Europe. However it is recommended to book the regional flight before booking your international flight. The regional flight is operated by the airline Satena. You can book this on satena.com but often the website does not process non Colombian credit cards. Therefor you can alternatively book this flight on kiwi.com.
 
Note: if this flight is not showing up, book the flight that is available, we will take care of your private ride to the retreat center. Also the regional flights leave from the same airport but from a terminal called Puente Aéreo aka Terminal 2, it is about a 5-10 minutes bus ride from the international terminal.
We highly recommend coming to Bogota early and also planning to stay a night in Bogota on your departure. The reason being that Satena airlines often moves their flight 2/3 hours ahead or cancels without much notice making it difficult and often impossible to catch the connecting flight.

Bogota Hotels
Close to the airport - ALoft is great and has a shuttle to the airport every 30 minutes.
 
In City - The Grace Hotel (can be booked via Air B and B) this is located in Chapinero a beautiful part of Bogota. Additionally the old town called La Candelaria is a great place to explore and stay.
 
Taxis are very inexpensive as well as Uber.
 
It is safe and very easy to get a taxi from the airport to your hotel. There are designated taxis at the airport to take you where you need to go. You must visit the outside kiosk and let them know where you would like to go, you will then be quoted a fare and assigned a taxi cab Note: Get a quote before agreeing to take the ride with your taxi.
The day your retreat starts you will be picked up at the Villa Garzón airport or in a place within Villa Garzón. If you miss your flight you can take a flight to Puerto Asis and from there take a 1.30 minute taxi ride to Villa Garzon. Note that you must arrive well before sunset in order to be driven into the jungle.
 
Money
A great way to get some Colombian Pesos is directly at the airport when you land in Bogotá. If the ATM machine at arrivals is out of cash you can go upstairs where there are plenty more. There are also plenty of ATM machines all over Bogotá, where you’ll be able to withdraw cash. Villa Garzon also has ATM machines.
We have a small gift shop at the retreat center where you can pay in USD or Colombian Pesos alternatively we also accept Venmo or Zelle.
Let your bank know about your travel plans so you can take out cash at an ATM.

Vaccines
Some travelers get vaccinated against yellow fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. The area you will be in has no still water, just a rapid river flow, therefore; there are no optimal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and no big risk for any mosquito transmitted disease.
As of June 12, 2022, CDC will no longer require air passengers traveling from a foreign country to the United States to show a negative COVID-19 viral test or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before they board their flight.

Your meals will be fresh, local cuisine with fish and sometimes chicken from the Jungle Harmony farm. Please let us know if you have any food restrictions or allergies. Should you need anything whilst at the retreat it is no issue for us to send a driver into the nearest town to retrieve it.
 
Weather
Bogotá is generally tempered and varies. It can sometimes be pretty sunny and warm, and sometimes chilly and rainy. It is recommended to check the weather forecast a few days prior. It doesn’t get terribly cold at night, a sweater or jacket will work fine.
The jungle will be warm (hot) with high chance of rain (sub tropical climate). On rainy days it can get a bit more chilly, it's recommended to have a sweat shirt handy. The nights in the jungle can get cold too. It is recommended to wear/bring sweatpants to stay warm and cozy during ceremony, we provide blankets too. For the day ceremony you will want to pack clothing made of natural fibers and loose fitting. Generally material that is made of cotton and other natural material will feel most comfortable and allow for the most air flow in this climate.
