Puerto Vallarta

Participants usually have several hours to explore Puerto Vallarta before and after the retreat and many arrange their flight schedules to give them an extra day or two to spend in this popular town on the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Accomodations can be found as cheap as $20 a night, and expensive hotels are plentiful as well. The town has much to offer visitors interested in art, shopping, sight seeing, entertainment, or just relaxing on the beach.

Yelapa

Our retreats are held in the village of Yelapa, at Los Naranjos Retreat Center. Yelapa is a small fishing village at the southern end of Banderas Bay. It is cut off by mountains so there are no electrict lines or roads connecting the village with the modern world. The only access is by boat or the trail over the mountains by mule.

Yelapa is set in an indian reserve and has strict laws to protect the rights and livelihoods of the original inhabitants... five extended families.

Americans and Mexicans are not allowed to own land or operate businesses in Yelapa. They must find a sponsor among the original villagers who then becomes a silent partner and owns the business. In this way, money stays in the village, and big hotels and other developments are kept out. This is in large part responsible for the idylic lifestyle of the villagers.

Yelapa is home to about a thousand indians (although no one is really sure how many), and about 150 Americans and Canadians, mainly writers, artists, musicians, and other interesting characters.
