What to do and see in Santa Teresa, Province of Puntarenas: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

December 22, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

Surf’s always up in the Costa Rican beach town of Santa Teresa. Bright sun and gleaming sands make the perfect backdrop to hang ten in the crystal-clear waters, and fishing, snorkeling and kite-surfing are popular among vacationers. Yoga and spa services are a must for the ultimate relaxation, and, at night, catch a glorious sunset on the same beach where earlier you caught a wave.

Vajra Sol Yoga retreats and Sandra are fabulous! A combination of yoga, meditation, sound healing, and hiking, this Montana retreat at Dancing Spirit Ranch was a true sanctuary for the soul! The Ranch provided creative and wholesome cuisine that accommodated a variety of dietary preferences. Every meal was nutritious, plentiful, and delicious!! Lodging was luxurious! The location offered many opportunities to experience Glacier National Park and the surrounding area. Rafting, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding are easily accessible. All precautions to keep guests safe from COVID-19 were in place. The serenity of yoga/meditation practices at beautiful Dancing Spirit were restorative for the mind and body - a welcome respite from the 2020 pandemic. The relaxing environment, immersed in nature, refreshed my focus, energy, and resiliency! I highly recommend Sandra's retreats! She creates a connection between nature and your personal well-being. She facilitates adventure. If you are seeking nurture for your body and soul, travel with Vajra Sol Yoga!
