Centro de Retiros Karuna

"I recently attended a 7-day silent retreat, and it was an incredibly profound and deeply special experience — one I would recommend to anyone looking for inner peace, clarity, and true rest. The retreat space itself is absolutely magical — high up in the mountains with breathtaking views and surrounded by untouched nature. It’s the perfect place to slow down, disconnect from the noise of everyday life, and truly turn inward. Everything was beautifully organized from start to finish. The atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and held with great care. The volunteers on site, who lovingly prepared the food and looked after the space, were so kind, helpful, and welcoming. The vegan meals were absolutely delicious — full of variety, flavor, and clearly made with lots of love. A truly unforgettable and heart-opening experience."

"Lovely place. Relaxing but also educating."
