Schedule - Free Time
Hanging Out at the Center

One of the favorite uses of free time is just to Hang out at the Center.

Participants are often found reading a book, napping in a hammock, getting a massage, or just relaxing in the grass.

There is also the private waterfall and pool, high above the center upon which you can float on a raft in absolute seclusion.

Exploring the Village

For those wanting to get out and about there is plenty to see and do in the Village of Yelapa, about a 10 minute walk.

It is fun to explore the various paths that wind through the village, and discover the church, post office, restaurants and artists communities.

There are plenty of opportunities to purchase authentic Wiechel Indian art, locally made rosewood bowls and more. For more pictures and information click here.

Relaxing at the Beach

From Los Naranjos Retreat Center the main beach is only a 5 minute walk. Here participants relax on the sand and can get drinks or food from one of the many restaurants along the beach.

In the evenings there is often live music from visiting professional musicians.

For the more adventurous there is also para-gliding, para-sailing, and kayaks available.

Refreshing Waterfalls There are three waterfalls in Yelapa that are easy get to. One of them is on the Los Naranjos Retreat Center property two hundred feet from the patio where we practice Yoga and Meditation. A second waterfall is on the opposite side of the village, about a 20 minute walk, but well worth the visit. It is best viewed from Casa Isabell where you can also see the best collection of Wiechel Indian art in Yelapa. The best known and most spectacular waterfall is just upstream from the village, about a 15 minute walk from Los Naranjos Retreat Center. The picture at left shows Roni and Michelle relaxing with a drink at the restaurant that overlooks the waterfall and swimming pool.

Making New Friends

Free time provides wonderful opportunities to make new friends. Small groups set out together to explore and return later that day as close friends.

Pictured at right is a small group from the February 2000 retreat who decided to stay on a few extra days in Yelapa after the retreat ended.
