Program
Welcome to the planned Program for Breathe Costa Rica. We would like to stress that this is definitely the plan but in Costa Rica you definitely need to accept that not always your plans come together exactly as you have planned! Check our best idea of the week's activity below!
The central head quarters for the Breathe happening is Otro Lado Lodge in Santa Teresa, just before Tano Gas. Bookings for the various activities can be made at Otro Lado between 8am and 3pm each day. Otro Lado will also be the marshaling point for buses or transport pool.
Participants are advised that many of the activities need to be booked at least a day in advance, particularly for the early Yoga sessions or Off Shore fishing. Others can be booked same day, while place allows.
While workshops, documentary screenings and music events are free, many of the activities themselves are coordinated by local organizers and will incur their own fee payable when on site.
Many of the activities are also limited in the size of the group it is possible to take, so please sign up as soon as possible for activities you are interested in as soon as possible. If there are large numbers of people interested in a particular activity, we will attempt to arrange a second group.
Prices and changes in the program will occur when we are made aware of them. Looking forward to seeing you in the Nicoya for your chance to Breathe.
