Checking out Ecuador’s fantastic destinations and trying out its plethora of exhilarating outdoor activities can be tiring. When you’re in a country filled with so many places to go to and sights to see, sometimes it can be difficult to catch your breath.
Fortunately, you’ll find many relaxing retreats around Ecuador, perfect if you’d like to take a break, quiet your mind, and do a little bit of soul searching. Many tourists head to Ecuador specifically for these retreats – with absolutely breathtaking views of sun-kissed beaches, enchanting rainforests, and captivating mountain ranges, it’s pretty hard to find a more perfect setting to have a life-changing experience.
Yoga Retreats
The great thing about yoga retreats in Ecuador is they usually come bundled with activities like surfing lessons, island hopping, and nature trips – the perfect experience if you’re looking for a unique trip that mixes relaxation, serenity, and adventure. There’s no better way to find inner peace than sitting underneath the shade of a towering myrtle tree while feeling your breath synchronize with the soft ocean breeze.
You’ll find single-day yoga retreats or 30-day camps guaranteed to get you right back on the path of positivity and well-being.
Medicinal Retreats
Ayahuasca is a sacred plant brew that has been used for thousands of years by ancient Amazonian tribes. The brew is said to contain properties that lead to spiritual healing and transformation.
No words can truly describe the magic of a sacred Ayahuasca ceremony. If you’re ready to embark on a spiritual adventure, you’ll find many opportunities in Ecuador to take part in this revitalizing experience, in a safe environment, and under the guidance of an authentic Ecuadorian shaman.
These transformative medicinal retreats often take place deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, and usually last for around 10-12 days. Tourists are provided with simple single or double-room accommodations, and the trips feature other activities like jungle walks, meditation sessions, river cruises, and educational trips where you can learn more about the different medicinal plants and herbs.
