San Jose, Costa Rica September 3rd 2013 – AmaTierra, Costa Rica’s premier mountain retreat and wellness center, is offering an extended green season special for locals and expats alike. This is one of the best times of the year to visit AmaTierra; the vegetation is lush and in full bloom thanks to the rains, there are plenty of butterflies and toucans to admire, and the white-face monkeys are more active than usual.

The green season special runs from now through September. AmaTierra will be closed in October and will reopen in November, which is a very busy month for us. The time to take advantage of this special offer is now.

These are the specials:

• Lodging in one of our comfortable mini suites for 1 person, full breakfast, complete dinner and one yoga class is just 45,000 colones (about $89) plus tax.
• Double occupancy and one yoga class is just 35,000 colones per person plus tax.
• Our 5-night Relax in Nature and 7-night Yoga and Wellness packages receive a 10 percent discount until November 15th.

AmaTierra is one of the most endearing resorts in Costa Rica. Located in a mountain hideaway just one hour away from the lovable city of San Jose, AmaTierra offers guests a life-enhancing experience consisting of yoga, tranquility, organic nutrition, herbal medicine, bodywork, and mind/body awareness. A vacation taken at AmaTierra is unlike any other in the sense that travelers are given a tangible opportunity to free themselves from stress and to detoxify from the noxious agents of modern life that prevent us from being at peace with ourselves.

AmaTierra is the proud recipient of TripAdvisor’s coveted Certificate of Excellence. Our retreat has received several five-star reviews, including this one from a very nice guest from Florida who recently visited us:

“What a wonderful week of relaxation and reconnection! I spoiled myself with the 7-Night Yoga Wellness Package and I enjoyed every minute of it! Jill, Bob and their staff are very welcoming and tune in to your requests and needs. I follow a gluten/soy/dairy free diet and they were very open to accomodating me with meals and Bob took great care of placing me in a casita (I stayed in Cafe) without too many stairs getting to/from. And it just so happened that my bottle of wine was always waiting for me at dinner, sitting at the perfect temperature……thanks Bob!”

Our chef works his culinary magic in every healthy dish prepared and served. We are very proud of our organic approach to gourmet cuisine, and we are also very proud of the work of Jill Ruttenberg, our resident professional nutritionist and herbalist. Jill is registered with the American Herbalist Guild, and she is also seasoned massage therapist and yoga instructor. Jill is available for nutrition and holistic consultations to set guests on the path to truly holistic health.

Yoga is at the heart of Amatierra’s rejuvenating experience. Our open-air studio provides not only an amazing and peaceful view, but also a blend of sound and scents that enhance the healing properties of yoga’s meditation and bodywork. Amatierra is not just for casual travelers; extended retreats, seminars and workshops are available for those who are serious about holistic practices.

AmaTierra is at her best in the mornings and early afternoons of Costa Rica’s magical green season. Falling asleep while listening to rain drops dance on the roof and soak the forest is a special treat. AmaTierra is perfect for yoga, relaxation and meditation, but you have to visit so that you can learn about our wellness clinics, our energy work, our equine experience, our organic garden, and other unique activities that we are sure you will love.

Getting here is pretty easy: Just take highway 27 going towards Ciudad Colon and Puriscal and exit at the Escobal turnoff. Directions from both Jaco and San Jose can be found on our website.
