7 Travel and Accommodations Questions Your final destination is the Goddess Garden Yoga Center in Cahuita, Costa Rica. Cahuita is located on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica and is home to White Faced Monkeys, Howler monkeys, Iguanas and more, and breathtaking black and white sand beaches. Cahuita's ethnic base is of Jamaican origin but you can find Italians, Germans, Swiss, and North- Americans. As a result of this mélange, there are a great variety of good restaurants along the small unpaved streets of what seems more like a village than a town in the eye of a tourist. To get there, you will arrive at Juan Santamaría International Airport in San Juan, Costa Rica. Don t worry, once accepted we will provide you with everything you know for a safe and easeful arrival in paradise. Please all questions to Stephanie Battle, Program Director. Even if you aren t sure quite what your question is, ask anyway. [email protected] Thank you. Sacred Vinyasa Yoga Flow 200 Hour TT Costa Rica Intensive Program Overview 7
