Amazon Yoga Retreat
Enjoy an Amazon Yoga Retreat that will take you on a journey of adventure and self-discovery in the heart of the jungle in Peru. If you are curious about the sights and sounds of this spectacular region and seeking to combine health and wellness with amazing jungle experiences, join us on a tour that begins in Puerto Maldonado, and prepare for a departure together for a five day yoga retreat adventure.
Meet with the local guide and yoga teacher who will take you on the journey into the Amazon for a jungle exploration of forest hikes, boat river tours blended with daily yoga classes in the incredible jungle studio for relaxation and rejuvenation in nature’s lush tropical backdrop.
Our days in the Amazon will include morning and evening hikes, canoe rides or a catamaran to seek out the lakeside wildlife such as hoatzin, caiman, horned screamers and otters and witness the overhead sightings of macaws. Enjoy views from a canopy tower with visions of jungle horizons over the Tambopata National Reserve and enjoy the possible sight of overhead flocks of toucans and raptors.
Five Days
Awaken in the morning to the jungle sounds for early morning yoga classes before the day’s activities designed to rejuvenate and refresh our senses with the sights and sounds. The sunset evening yoga classes will be gentle and calming, tuning into the rhythms of the forest and wildlife and connecting our minds, hearts and bodies to the beautiful surroundings and harmony of the Amazon.
The yoga classes are designed for all levels and will be integrated with the daily activities and itinerary. Enjoy the sound of the forest and the relaxing pace of the Amazon yoga retreat to take you out of your daily routine and into the beauty and abundance of one of the most diverse and lively places on our planet.
Local Excursions
The tour also includes visits to local community development projects of the Amazon and a local farm and Brazil Nut forest production to see how a variety of popular and unknown Amazon crops are grown and learn about the use of the local medicinal plants. Walk along ethno-botanical trails and learn the uses of medicinal plants such as the Ajo-Sacha, Yuca de Venado, Uña de Gato, Charcot-Sacha, and Para-Para.

"I had great time on the tour, all was very professional and organized and the location and meals were amazing.
The yoga teacher was the best I ever had and the whole team was incredible and I enjoyed every minute. It was perfect in all aspects and above my expectations, for sure an unforgettable experience." 
The yoga teacher was great – she quickly gaged our levels of experience and went at the perfect pace to ensure we felt comfortable. She was friendly, approachable and very calming with her instructions. The beach house was lovely. Spacious, clean, well kept and presented. The cook was brilliant and the quality and quantity of food was first class and we definitely never went hungry!
The group of people on the tour really made it special for me. It was so nice to go away as a solo traveller and come away feeling like you had made a whole new group of friends! I will never forget the beauty of the island – the sounds, sights and how it made me feel emotionally. I was able to forget about everything back home and just ‘be!’ The whole experience was brilliant – it really was a journey of discovery! 
The personal touch was the most enjoyable aspect of the tour. I felt a thousand times more relaxed and whole after a week.
The change was really noticeable and the feeling of being looked after really set me up to have space to nurture myself, which I find hard to come by in daily life.
As a custom tour experience with GSJ the programs were adjusted for my preference and for weather, and it felt like I had someone to help me personally organize the things I wanted to do and accompany me along the way. The most I enjoyed about my experience were the yoga sessions. All of the instructors were fantastic and have inspired me to reignite my practice long term. I can't say enough about how amazing the sessions were.
The local guide was also very knowledgeable and friendly and locations were beautiful with great breakfasts. The optional massages were also fantastic, it seems GSJ knows how to find all the best people! I would recommend GSJ tours and travel with them again. 
Loved, loved, loved this tour! the perfect combination of fun and adventure with amazing yoga, delicious food and gorgeous location. I didn’t want to come home!
This tour is perfect if you live in Brazil and want an escape from the city or if you are coming to Brazil for the first time. It’s an amazing way to see beautiful places and travel with people who have the same ideas about travel. Connect with us
