How do I redeem a gift certificate?
A member of our team will reach out after your gift certificate purchase to introduce themselves and help you explore available retreat dates, share details about our programs, and guide you through the booking process. This person will be your direct point of contact from purchase through retreat confirmation.

Please note that gift certificates cannot be applied through Retreat Guru or direct website bookings. All redemptions are handled personally by our team to ensure your credit is applied correctly and your experience is fully supported.

Can I use another discount or promotional offer when I redeem my gift certificate?
Gift certificates purchased during the Holiday Sale already include a discount of 10% or more, and so cannot be combined with other discount codes, offers, or promotions.

Menu Types

We believe healing even takes place in the kitchen. We take on the mantra by the Greek physician, Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” We honor the role of food in our lives and expand it beyond its primary purpose of bodily nourishment – food can be an avenue to dig deeper into ourselves, consciously looking at our patterns and mindsets surrounding not just what we eat, but how and why we eat what we do. Our eating habits don’t just affect our mental health, they also reflect it. At Soltara, we aim to help you jumpstart this process of connection through conscious cooking on all levels. Diet is an important part of the healing process, both on its own and also to help prepare the mind and body for plant medicine work. We work closely with our shamans to prepare wholesome, delicious meals that adhere to the traditional dietary guidelines of working with ayahuasca. All of our meals are freshly prepared in-house by our loving kitchen staff. From fresh smoothies and juices every morning, to plant-based meals emphasizing local, organic, and sustainable produce, to lean proteins such a chicken and fish, we celebrate the rich local flavor of Costa Rican cuisine, and offer a chance to experience a connection to the land and culture while nourishing the body, mind, and spirit.

The most Beautiful Experience!
This journey has been the most profound and beautiful experience of my life. Soltara’s container felt safe, caring, loving, and deeply held. Everything is structured with clear intention so that you can fully focus on your own process, and I truly appreciated that. The entire space is spotless and the energy feels vibrant from the moment you arrive. The food was incredible, fresh, and genuinely nourishing, and it supported the experience in such a thoughtful way. Kudos to Jesse, Massiel, and the entire kitchen staff.
The facilitators and staff show up with so much presence, compassion, and care. Thank you again Viviana, Julia, Christina, Sasha, and Tatiana for making me feel supported, understood, and genuinely held, Love your energy! The maestros were incredible. Maestro Francisco and Maestra Maricela, Irake! 🙏🏻 The Shipibo tradition is something truly unique, and there is nothing else like it. I connected to the maestros and the Icaros (healing songs) in ways I cannot explain, and I highly recommend the spiritual, personalized, and deeply energetic experience that comes through this lineage.
I am extremely grateful to Soltara, their entire staff, our group, for this incredible experience. It has changed me, and I know it will continue to change me in meaningful ways. I know I will be back soon, and I would 100% recommend Soltara to anyone seeking true transformation in the most beautifully held environment. 💚💚💚💚

Transformational and life changing
My experience with Soltara is something I will be forever grateful for. The care we were shown was remarkable and something I have not experienced. My healing was extremely uncomfortable at times, and I always felt safe and secure. This experience was the hardest thing I have ever done, but the most transformation and life changing. I would highly recommend to anyone that is ready to have transformational healing.

Soltara Ayahausca Retreat
I just returned from an extraordinary retreat at Soltara Ayahuasca Retreat, and the experience was truly life-changing. Nestled deep in the lush Costa Rican jungle, everything about the journey felt intentional, sacred, and impeccably held.

From the moment I arrived, the staff embodied warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Their guidance, compassion, and presence created a field of safety that allowed me to relax, open, and fully receive the medicine and the healing being offered. The facilitation was superb—I felt safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.

The food was incredible—organic, nourishing, and infused with traditional Costa Rican flavors. Each meal felt like an extension of the healing itself. The yoga, the serene natural environment, and the outdoor sunrise showers added layers of peace and presence, making each day of the retreat feel like an even greater blessing.

One of the most unforgettable highlights was our day trip to the Goddess Waterfall—a breathtaking, powerful place that felt like an initiation all on its own.

The glamping tents exceeded my expectations. There was something magical about falling asleep to the gentle rainforest and waking to the vibrant chorus of jungle life. The massage services, the land, the community, the weather… every detail felt perfectly curated and deeply supportive.

I left Soltara feeling restored, connected, and profoundly grateful—as if something ancient and authentic within me had been remembered and awakened.

I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Everything I could’ve imagined and then some.
It’s taken me awhile to write this because I don’t have words strong enough for this experience and Soltara’s facilitation of the process. The experience was literally everything I could’ve imagined and all that I didn’t. And Soltara doesn’t miss a single thing. The facilities are clean and welcoming. The food is a love ceremony, all in itself. The care that goes into preparation and integration afterwards makes a huge difference in how you feel coming in and coming out. They have everything figured out. I can’t imagine ever going anywhere else after this experience with Soltara. Christina, Tatiana, Viviana, Sasha, Jesse- everyone was MAGICAL. This work is medicine, I did 10 years worth of work and healing and progress in 10 days at Soltara. I’m different, and that’s what I went for, and the team at Soltara made sure that happened for me in a safe, loving, healthy space. The Maestro and Maestra, Francisco and Marisela, were exactly what I needed for this journey. I’m in heaven and this team of angels facilitated everything moment of it.

Above and beyond
Going to Soltara was one of the most incredible, important things I've ever done. I truly didn't know what to expect, and I am happy to report it exceeded any expectations I had. The accommodations are beautiful; the food off the charts outstanding; the people - all of them from the incredible shaman's to the support team to the behind the scenes staff who supported everything. For anyone who feels a calling - I can't recommend it enough.
