Yoga
Bend and stretch for an excellent way to start off your day! Zen out, tune in or practice your balance. For beginner or more advanced yogi’s, there will be yoga classes for everyone. Sometimes when it’s more fresh in the morning or later in the afternoon for a beautiful sunset session.
We always work with certified yoga instructors only; varying from Slowflow and Powerflow Vinyasa yoga, or a deep relaxing Yin yoga. Also a great spot for meditation!
The yoga deck on the Rancho has the most breathtaking view, so don’t forget to breath!
Every Wednesday we provide donation based Yoga for the Tortuga Project of Punta Banco. All donations go directly to the project to protect the turtles.

Surfing
The reef-break in front of the garden is a fun wave, and a short walk along the beach, there are more waves to find.
When the swell gets to a good size the world-famous Pavones starts to liven up. Pavones (one of the longest lefts in the world) is only 20 minutes by car or 35 minutes by bicycle. If it’s on at Pavones we could arrange a taxi, or you can take the early morning bus (5 o’ clock). For surfers who like to go right as well or just want to surf even more waves we can organize boattrips to Matapalo and Punta Burica, or are you looking for some tips and tricks? It’s possible to get surf lessons or coaching as well.
For those who would like to learn the basics of surfing we provide ‘beginner lessons’ at the wave right in front of our garden. In case the waves are too big we can arrange a lesson more into the bay (Pavones). All the lessons are given on ‘softboards’ and by experienced surf instructor.
Price:
$ 60/person for a 2.5 hour lesson at the Rancho’s ‘garden’ wave
$ 75/person for a 2.5 hour lesson around Pavones (including transport)
RENT OR BUY A BOARD
We do have some boards for rent. Softboards for beginners and some different used boards that work fine for intermediate surfers.
