Yoga Retreat in Cartagena
About
Learn More
Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that’s entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture for us to explore and enjoy. It’s also one of the safest places in the country and is quickly becoming THE travelers-in-the-know hotspot! Join us in this UNESCO World Heritage city for inspired yoga, delicious cuisine, local salsa dancing and music, a day trip on a private boat to visit the gorgeous Caribbean Island of Rosario, beach time, and to explore this enchanting and vibrant city of cobblestone streets right on the sea.
Our week in this charming, colorful city includes inspired yoga classes daily, most meals, a day off on a boat to a gorgeous Caribbean island to snorkel and bask in the warm sunshine, salsa dancing classes, and a private walking art tour of Cartagena that highlights the history and the modern art decorating each turn plus an incredible coffee tasting and demo at a local cafe.
To find out what the buzz is all about and to experience the pulse of this vibrant city for yourself, please join us this summer on an incredible adventure!
