FAQ
Will I definitely see whales and dolphins?
We wish we could ask the whales to save the date! ��
Nature writes her own schedule, so sightings can never be
guaranteed. The good news is that late December/January is one of
the best times to visit Uvita for humpback whales, and dolphins are
frequently spotted too. Whether it’s a breaching whale, a playful pod
of dolphins, or simply an unforgettable morning on the Pacific Ocean,
the safari is always a highlight of the retreat.
What airport do I fly into?
Fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José. We
recommend arriving one day early and staying overnight in San José
to allow for any travel delays. On Monday morning, we’ll travel
together to Uvita by shared shuttle, beginning the retreat as a group.
What if the minimum group size is not reached?
This retreat requires a minimum number of 10 participants to run. If the
minimum is not reached, you will receive a full refund of your retreat
payment or the option to transfer to a future retreat. But so far, I hosted
over 30 retreats and never cancelled one, so we manifest this is
happening.
Is Bikram suitable for beginners?
Yes. This retreat is open to both beginners and experienced
practitioners. Each class is guided with clear instruction, and you are
always encouraged to listen to your body. The jungle setting may be
wild — but the yoga space is safe, supportive, and accessible.
Temperature expectations?
Late December to early January is one of the most beautiful times to
visit Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Daytime: approximately 28°C to 32°C.
Nighttime: approximately 22°C to 25°C. Expect warm tropical days,
balmy evenings, lush rainforest, and warm ocean temperatures perfect
for swimming. Perfect conditions for daily yoga, waterfall adventures,
beach sunsets, and welcoming the New Year surrounded by nature.
Is Costa Rica safe?
Yes. Costa Rica is widely regarded as one of the safest countries in
Central America. Uvita is a welcoming, laid-back beach town, and
with common-sense travel precautions, visitors enjoy a safe and
memorable stay.
Do I need a visa?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Please check the
entry requirements for Costa Rica based on your passport before
booking your flights.
Do I need any vaccinations?
No mandatory vaccinations are required for most travelers arriving
from Europe or North America. However, we recommend consulting
your healthcare provider or local travel clinic for the latest travel
health advice before your trip.
Are mosquitoes common?
As this is a tropical destination, mosquitoes are present, particularly
around sunrise and sunset. We recommend bringing insect repellent
and lightweight clothing for the evenings.
Can I drink the tap water?
ap water is generally safe to drink in Uvita, but filtered water is also
readily available throughout the retreat.

are out of our control and could not have been reasonably
