Mundo Tranquilo Retreats
Mundo Tranquilo, also known as Gentle Earth Retreats, ran juice and healthy-eating retreats with daily yoga in the village of Cabuya, near Montezuma, during the dry season. In November 2026 we found no working website or recent listings, so treat this page as a record and see the nearby centers we link below.
Update, November 2026: We couldn't confirm Mundo Tranquilo is still running. Its old website no longer works, and we found no recent listings, reviews or social media for it in Cabuya. We've kept this page as a record. For places to practice in the area today, see the end of this page.
Mundo Tranquilo, which also used the name Gentle Earth Retreats, was a small retreat house in Cabuya, a quiet village a few kilometers south of Montezuma near the Cabo Blanco nature reserve, on the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. It ran its programs in the dry season, roughly November to May.
What it offered
The retreats were built around food and daily yoga rather than yoga alone. There were week-long juice-fasting programs, a "gourmet" cleanse week with juices, raw food and lightly cooked meals, a yoga-and-healthy-eating week with 2 yoga classes a day, and a weight-loss program with meal planning. Guests stayed a week or longer in private or shared rooms.
Juice fasts and cleanses aren't medical treatment. If you're considering one anywhere, talk to your doctor first, especially if you take medication or have a health condition.
Yoga near Cabuya today
Cabuya and Montezuma still suit a slow, nature-focused week. Anamaya in Montezuma runs retreat weeks, and Ylang Ylang Beach Resort has public classes by the beach. If a food-focused week is what you want, Hacienda del Sol, north of Nosara, runs juice and food programs with daily movement classes.
