Anahari Wellness Center · Colombia
Sample Itinerary
5 Days · 4 Nights · February 26 – March 2, 2027
This is a sample schedule. Exact timing may shift to honor the group's needs and the natural rhythm of the land.
Plan your travel with the full experience in mind
We recommend flying into, and out of, Bogotá, Pereira, or Armenia one night before the retreat begins and one night after it ends. Arriving the day the retreat starts or departing the day it ends risks missing part of the experience. Accommodations for those extra nights are not included in the retreat and are on your own. Transfers from Pereira and Armenia to Anahari are included in the price of the retreat. Bogota and other cities are not included as it may involve an additional transfers.
