Transform in the City of Eternal Spring

Daily yoga flows surrounded by lush jungle vegetation. We will have the opportunity to take a class at a local studio as well. 

Escape the city and step into the lush green mountains just beyond Medellín. This guided waterfall hike winds through tropical forest, misty trails, and vibrant jungle scenery until you arrive at a hidden cascade pouring into a cool, refreshing pool. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and serenity — a chance to breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and feel the magic of Colombia’s wild landscapes.

Rising dramatically from the lush Antioquian landscape, El Peñol Rock is a massive granite monolith standing more than 650 feet above the surrounding lakes and rolling green hills. Its zig-zagging staircase carved directly into the stone leads you to a breathtaking 360° panoramic view — endless blue water, tiny islands scattered like jewels, and vibrant pueblos tucked into the mountains.

A guided walk through Comuna 13 takes you along outdoor escalators, open-air galleries, and winding alleys that tell the community’s story — not through statistics or headlines, but through the voices of local artists, dancers, and families who reshaped their reality through expression and collective courage.

High above the city and reached by a breathtaking cable car ride, Parque Arví is a protected forest reserve where Medellín’s busy rhythm gives way to quiet trails, fresh mountain air, and ancient Andean energy. Spanning thousands of acres of pine groves, wildflowers, misty pathways, and native forest, Arví offers a peaceful escape perfect for grounding, reflection, and reconnecting with nature.

Just outside Medellín, tucked into the green folds of the Andes, lies a traditional Colombian coffee farm where time slows down and the air smells like rich, earthy sweetness. Here, you’ll walk through rows of glossy coffee plants, learn how beans are grown, harvested, washed, and dried, and meet the farmers who’ve dedicated their lives to this craft.

Experience the heart of Colombian culture through Cumbia and Salsa, two dances that light up Medellín’s nights with rhythm and joy. Cumbia, with its flowing skirts, drums, and storytelling steps, reflects Colombia’s rich blend of Indigenous, African, and Spanish heritage. Salsa brings a different fire — fast, playful, and full of connection — a dance that thrives in Medellín’s energetic music scene.

Our retreat features meals crafted by a local Colombian chef who brings the flavors, colors, and soul of Colombia straight to the table. Every dish is made with fresh, regional ingredients—from vibrant tropical fruits to farm-grown herbs and vegetables—prepared with love and authenticity.

Arrive in Medellín with ease. Your retreat includes round-trip transportation from José María Córdova International Airport directly to our Airbnb. A trusted local driver will greet you at arrivals, help with luggage, and guide you comfortably through the scenic 45–60 minute drive into the city.
