Participants typically set intentions for the ceremony, engage in meditation or guided visualization, and share their experiences.

We can’t wait for you to meet Rachel and Matias!

Before we reach the falls, we'll stop at Jungle Garden for a delectable, privately prepared breakfast amidst the lush jungle. You can choose to head back after we enjoy our comida or, continue on up the trail to see the cascada. Take a refreshing dip in the waterfall's big whirlpool and immerse yourself in nature on this unforgettable adventure.
