Welcome to the Cloud Forest Awakening!
As dawn’s first light gently strokes the canopy above, you awaken to an enchanting forest symphony. You listen, entranced by the sounds of tropical birds and the sounds of monkeys and other exotic animals. You feel the coolness of the air against your skin and begin to anticipate the unfolding of the day. You feel as though you've entered a world where every moment could promise a new adventure.
And so it does. You feel the day's vibrant energy as you begin with a morning yoga session, surrounded by the misty embrace of nature. Later, your senses come alive with the intoxicating aromas of freshly brewed coffee, delicious conversation with fellow guests, and more melodious chirping of birds. Finally, you treat yourself to a nourishing breakfast, lovingly prepared from the land’s rich harvests, a true feast for your body and soul.
And this is only the beginning -- not only of the day, but the entire retreat to come.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life changes that seem out of your control?

Are you concerned about how recent stresses are affecting your health?

Do you find yourself putting others first, neglecting your own needs and desires?
So, tell me, is this you?

Your Venue: A Gateway to Wonder & Metamorphosis
Why the Cloud Forest?
Nestled in Palo Verde, El Guarco de Cartago, our retreat at 6000 feet is a haven surrounded by nature. You will journey through lush mountains and rivers reconnecting with yourself, and you will be part of a circle of women, each on their life journey, letting go of the past.
Our 100-acre paradise was a visionary's dream, with thousands of trees planted decades ago, now a regenerated forest backdrop. There, you will find strength and worth in nature's embrace.
Accommodations among the trees
With 16 rooms and cabins, the resort offers a sanctuary, each room nestled among trees. You will experience nature's nurturing with private rooms and bonfire spots, surrounded by hummingbirds' symphony. If you like to hike, you will be able to explore miles of trails to two waterfalls. You will encounter Mother Earth's heart, with memories lasting long after you leave.
You will:
-
enjoy the comfort and natural style of your room, with private river access and wildlife-filled gardens,
-
enjoy dining with local flavors and moments of relaxation,
-
experience community around bonfires.
