Wildlife in Costa Rica



This is one of the reason we choose Costa Rica to host the "Awakening your true Nature" retreat. The lush nature and wildlife of Costa Rica, will help you reconnect with your own nature:

Nowhere else in the world are so many types of habitats squeezed into such a tiny area. The range of habitats in Costa Rica, a consequence of its unique geography, creates an incredibly rich diversity of flora and fauna – in fact no other country on the planet has such variety. Measured in terms of number of species per 10,000 sq km Costa Rica tops the list of countries at 615 species, compared to a wildlife-rich country such as Rwanda that has 596, or to the comparatively impoverished USA with its 104 species. This simple fact alone (not to mention the ease of travel and friendly residents!) makes Costa Rica the premier destination for nature lovers from all over the world.

Along with its diverse geography, the large number of species in Costa Rica is also due to the relatively recent appearance of the country. Roughly three million years ago Costa Rica rose from the ocean and formed a land bridge between North and South America, and as species from these two vast biological provinces started to mingle and mix, the number of species was essentially ‘doubled.’

Santa Fe Film Festival!

Santa Fe Film Festival will close Sunday evening. Tomorrow is the showing of 'The Heart of Santa Fe' The film explores the city's fascinating treasures of art, history, faith, lore and legend! Definitely can't miss it!

In the context of Santa Fe's 400th anniversary, the film explores the city's fascinating treasures of art, history, faith, lore, and legend. From the ancient pre-history of native peoples to the famed courtesan Dona Tules in the 1800s, Santa Fe has been home to icons and characters of every kind and description. Through interviews with famous historians and out-spoken critics, using archival materials and historic reenactments, the film explores the drama that has unfolded on the Royal City's stage since time immemorial. From the depths of the Cathedral Basilica's catacombs to secret sects in remote mountain villages, never-before-seen footage takes the viewer across space and through time to reveal Santa Fe as repository of a sacred collective memory; portraying the essence of a culture that is centuries in the making and enduring in its legacy.

Art, History and relaxation!




After the exploration of Medieval art & history, you will relax in one of the best hotel in the heart of the medieval city!






Our trip to France!


The city of Provins recently won the title of “City of Art and History” » and is inscribed on the UNESCO List of Humanity World Heritage. With a unique heritage in France and a series of activities based on the theme of the Middle Ages, the city of Provins takes its visitors back in time, into a world of lords, ladies and knights.


Among the many architectural jewels in the city, there are the famous Tour César, symbol of the town, the collegiate church of Saint Quiriace, Saint Ayoul's church, the ramparts, the fortified gates, the 150 Romanesque and Gothic halls, and nearly 10 km of underground passages!





The oldest buildings, the Grange aux Dîmes!
Lift your eyes to the sky: the lovely vaulted ceilings are supported by a series of crossed arches decorated with etched leaves. You will then meet a fur and wool merchant from Belgium, a spice seller from the Orient, a money changer and even a well-known writer with rolls of parchment beneath his arms...
