Where you stay

El Pueblito Hotel Boutique

Tucked into the hills of Samaipata, El Pueblito is home base for the retreat. A place built for slowing down and being fully present. Every room has a garden view, a mini bar, a microwave, and WiFi, so you have what you need without leaving the property.

Beyond your room the hotel opens onto a sun terrace, a garden, and a year-round outdoor pool. Quiet mornings, unplugged afternoons, conversations that run past dinner. Come evening, the outdoor fireplace and bar pull the group together on their own.

Frequently asked

Do I need to be in a creative field to join?

Not at all. Many guests are artists and creatives by profession, but this is a creative wellness retreat, not a professional workshop. No artistic background is needed. If you are open to exploring, playing, and connecting with yourself, you will feel right at home.

Do you have WiFi?

We do, but it is spotty. Either way, we encourage at least a three-day digital detox so you can fully disconnect.

Do I need a visa?

Visa requirements vary by nationality. U.S. citizens currently do not need a tourist visa for stays of up to 90 days. Check the latest entry requirements for your passport before you travel.

Do I need to bring extra money?

Our retreats are all-inclusive, so no additional funds are required during the retreat. We recommend bringing cash for personal expenses before or after, and for optional staff gratuities.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We offer payment plans with up to three installments. Reach out once you are accepted and we will set it up.

What is the cancellation policy?

With 60 or more days notice, a full refund excluding the $500 deposit. Between 30 and 59 days, a 50% refund of all payments made, excluding the deposit. Under 30 days, no refund.

How do I get there?

You arrange your own travel to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and your own way to our meeting point at Los Tajibos Hotel. We do not organise airport arrivals. From Los Tajibos the group travels to Samaipata together, and we come back there together at the end.
