Directions

We will meet you at the Port of Puerto Jimenez to ferry you into our little paradise (Boat trip to Pandorita is included). Pickup is at 10.30am on the first day of your Workshop. Drop off is at 8am on the last day of your Workshop. Most international flights land in the capital of Costa Rica, in San Jose. Most guests come to us from San Jose via a domestic flight to tranquil Puerto Jimenez. The flight can be booked via flysansa.com. It is a wonderful experience and takes 50 minutes. From the airport in Puerto Jimenez, it's a 10-minute walk to the meeting point at the harbor. There are also taxis. Alternatively, you can rent a car at the airport in San Jose via alamo.com and return the car to Alamo in Puerto Jimenez. The drive along the Pacific coast takes around 7 hours. Most guests plan an overnight stay and make the journey in two stages. The Alamo staff in Puerto Jimenez will be happy to take you to the meeting point at the harbor. We board our boat at 10:30 in the morning at the meeting point at the port of Puerto Jimenez and cross the Golfo Dulce. The fantastic crossing takes 30 minutes and with a bit of luck you will be greeted by dolphins and whales :-) Our facilitators will send you a message via WhatsApp the day before the workshop starts, so you will be in contact in case of delays or other problems during the trip.

I love myself
A transformative journey awaits at Pandorita, where I experienced profound healing of my inner child.

The sacred ceremonies guided by experienced shamans provided a safe space for deep introspection and emotional release. Through this powerful medicine, I was able to confront and heal past wounds, nurturing and embracing my inner child with compassion and love.

The supportive environment, coupled with the wisdom of the facilitators, fostered a profound sense of healing and renewal.

My experience at Pandorita was nothing short of transformative, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to embark on this inner journey of healing and growth.

Thank you Pandorita!

Pandorita is a metaphor
After the third ceremony at Pandorita, I made a profound realization. I had been projecting my own inner resistance outward onto the world around me. Initially, I couldn’t fully see or feel the beauty and magic of this place. It wasn’t until I purged myself of my constant judgments that I truly began to experience it.

As I let go of my preconceived notions and surrendered to the process, a profound shift occurred within me. Suddenly, the lush jungle surroundings seemed more vibrant, the songs of the birds more melodious, and the energy of the ceremonies more potent.

It was a moment of clarity and release, a shedding of old patterns and a welcoming of the present moment. From that point on, I approached each ceremony and each experience with newfound openness and appreciation.

Pandorita became not just a physical location, but a metaphor for my own inner journey of self-discovery and growth. And for that realization, I am eternally grateful.

Love, Gemma

I would love to be back
The Pandorita Retreat takes place in a very loving family environment.

From the cooks to the gardener and the support team to the mastero, everyone is very concerned about the well-being of the guests.

The support team was available to us as a 24/7 contact person

The resort is surrounded by nature. The grounds are very well maintained and border directly on the jungle. Dolphins occasionally swim in front of the sea wall and you may encounter many native animals on the resort grounds.

Because of the ayahuasca ceremonies, the food is strictly regulated according to a certain diet in order to enhance the effects of the medicine.

The ceremonies are led by indigenous masteros from Peru. For me, the work and experience of the masteros was a very beautiful and exciting experience.

They were tireless in their love and care for the participants.

I had read a lot about the work of the shamans. During the ceremonies, all my expectations were far exceeded.

The ceremonies focus on physical, spiritual and ancestral healing.

During the ceremonies, the two supervisors and helpers of the Mastero were always present and constantly concerned about the well-being of the participants.

I always felt well looked after and cared for. Everyone was noticed and professionally guided through the experience with the medicine by the helpers of the Masteros.

In my opinion, the retreat was worth every penny and I would love to travel to Pandorita again straight away to deepen my experience.

I would like to thank the team and the Masteros for everything!

I miss you very much and wish you much strength and joy in your work.

With love Tom

Pandorita is next Level
Pandorita was a very profound, healing experience for me, it touched me deeply – and I am still in inner contact with this special energy from this special, wonderful place. The place is located directly on the Pacific Ocean within a peninsula, the sea is very calm and peaceful, just like the whole place.

I felt wonderfully looked after, the treatments and activities were great, the food was just right, naturally fresh, made with love and with the consistency needed for a respectful implementation of such a power workshop.

Our group was the focus, it was all about us and our process. I particularly noticed how everyone stepped back to give us the best possible experience and healing. I already had experiences, but they are not comparable to my experiences here on Pandorita. A lot of healing happened to me here that I could not have imagined.

One of the best and most important times in my life so far. Thank you all 🙂
