My significant other and I discovered this lovely yoga shala during our vacation in Uvita, and we're so happy we found it! The owner, Lura, is a yoga therapist with an abundance of knowledge about yoga and an eye for alignment. She also has wonderful teachers who have a great understanding of anatomy and how to use yoga for strength and mobility. This is a great place to enhance your yoga practice through yoga therapy techniques in a beautiful place! We will definitely be going back in the future!

These two brothers were wonderful guides and are amazing stewards of the land. We saw so much! So glad we went. Prepare with bug spray and a good head lamp or flash light. At the end Humberto's family provided warm hospitality and we heard Enrique's stories. Don't use a tour company. This is the authentic CR experience!

Parque Nacional Marino Ballena

Reviewed By nutty_4_nature - Phoenix, United States

Marino Ballena national park is an unique place that many tourists miss when they visit Costa Rica since it is tucked away from the main tourist hubs. I am conflicted writing this review since part of the beauty of this place is how unspoiled it is! Literally the jungle goes right to the beach. One of the highlights is walking out to the whale’s tail rock formation during low tide. Be sure to bring sun protection since it gets really hot and there is zero shade during the walk. The beach is not crowded and there is plenty of space to stretch out. Also some small rivers flow to the sea and I noticed quite a few bird watchers in the area. Uvita’s main restaurant strip is right outside the park entrance and it’s convenient to access for any food, drinks or snacks. Definitely I would highly recommend a visit for at least half a day.
