This is INCREDIBLY important information so PLEASE take your time and read it through to the end. Failure to do so could result in denial of admittance to the festival upon arrival.
I will also post a video later to answer more questions, but I want you to know we are taking this very seriously and hope that you do too. That means you might want to look at your calendar and cancel any events you plan on hanging out at as the festival approaches. Would be a shame for you to come all the way to Costa Rica only to have to pay again to stay in an isolation hotel and miss all of the festivities. In other words, sitchoass down somewhere so we can enjoy each other.
We are following all health authority & government guidelines.
This means if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, fever, loss of taste/smell, etc) you will have to self isolate until a PCR test can be administered by a physician at your own expense. If you arrive and do not present a negative COVID19 test (antigen or PCR, 72 hour window) you will not be able to enter the festival.
All guest will be tested AGAIN upon arrival on-site (regardless of vaccination status) and any positives will have to be PCR tested to gain entry to the festival.
This is a largely an open-air event and takes place in an extremely large space. Every yoga shala (classrooms) is open air except ONE, and we will use that one as sparingly as possible.
The mask mandate issued by the Costa Rican government will be enforced in all common areas (optional in the classrooms, pool or dining area).
Hand washing sinks will be available throughout the resort. Your bag has hand sanitizer in it, please use it often. There are hand sanitizing stations everywhere. Be mindful of what you touch!
If you leave for an excursion outside of the group excursions we have coordinated you will need to test (at your own expense) before returning to the retreat. This is a closed retreat for all of our protection. Sorry, no tinder dates allowed on site. :)
I am are asking that festival guests do their part in social distancing at least 6ft away from others not in our group and to be courteous about following our event protocols.
Travel Insurance is MANDATORY!
As of August, 2021, Costa Rica now allows entry to tourists who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson vaccines without SPECIAL COVID travel insurance. Visitors from the United States are permitted to present their “COVID-19 vaccination record card” as proof of vaccination.
Those who cannot present proof of COVID-19 vaccination by the aforementioned vaccines must purchase travel insurance that meets the following three requirements, as set by the Costa Rican government:
