Join us for an experience of Yoga in nature on a 5-7 day retreat in the jungle! La Casa Aguas Lindas is a beautiful, humble house on the side of a little mountain in Amagá, Colombia-- about 1 hour from the city of Medellín (depending on traffic). The house is named for the beautiful spring water that runs down the mountain. To get to the house there is a 10-15 minute hike up the mountain on a path surrounded by fruit and flower trees and colorful butterflies. The house has seven bedrooms, along with two patios overlooking the lush jungle and a rooftop covered yoga shala with views of the mountains. There is also a natural pool made from water collected from the mountain. It is very peaceful and nurturing.

IMPORTANT
This trip is NOT for you if:
1. You have physical conditions that would make it ill-advised for you to do a 10-15 minute hike up to the house. You won't have to carry your bags up and down.
2. You are super afraid of bugs. The house is clean, but it is in the jungle! You will see bugs.
