Amazon Rainforest Yoga & Energy-Balancing Wellness Retreat in Colombia

Days start early, before the heat builds. Marta leads a yoga session on the deck, followed by pranayama and meditation, then breakfast. Mid-morning is usually an Energy Balancing session or a sound healing session with Tibetan singing bowls, and after lunch there is a guided jungle hike or a river cruise with local guides. Late afternoon brings Yoga Nidra, a guided relaxation practice, and dinner is served in the evening. On one evening the group sits for a Cacao Ceremony, a Mayan ritual with a warm cup of cacao, music, chanting and intention-setting, and on another evening there is the option of an Ayahuasca ceremony with an indigenous shaman.

What separates this from other Amazon retreats is the combination of a genuinely remote, low-impact lodge and a teacher who covers several disciplines. Marta Diaz trained and taught in Japan and Thailand before founding Om & Flow Yoga, and she brings yoga, Yoga Nidra, Reiki and sound therapy into the same week rather than contracting separate specialists. The lodge itself, Calanoa Amazonas, is built into the forest rather than cleared from it, with solar power, rainwater harvesting and waste management systems, and the guided walks are led by people from the surrounding communities.

The retreat runs 19–23 November 2026, four nights and five days. Guests are collected in Leticia on the first day and dropped back there in the afternoon of the last day, with the boat transfer each way taking about 90 minutes. Accommodation is either a shared triple room, a shared twin room, or a private double room; there is also a two-person package in a private room. Early-bird pricing runs until 19 September 2026, and a 10% discount is available for paying the full fee at registration.

The Ayahuasca ceremony is optional and costs around €50, paid directly to the shaman. The Cacao Ceremony is included in the retreat fee. There is also an optional hypnotherapy session. Because the lodge is off-grid and reached only by boat, the trip suits people comfortable with basic jungle conditions — humidity, insects, and early starts — rather than those looking for a conventional hotel.

Group sizes are kept small, and the lodge has limited rooms, so places sell out. A €200 deposit secures a spot. The retreat is open to all levels of yoga experience; Marta adapts sessions to the group.
