Experience Alegría Village
Join us for a full-day immersion into our lifestyle at Alegría Village!
We’ll start our day with a yoga class in our new community yoga shala. Then we’ll tour the Alegría property and organic permaculture farm, and hike up to our neighbor’s jungle sanctuary Mariposa for lunch and an afternoon swim in the gorgeous Río Machuca. After we cool off in the river, we’ll hike back to the Alegría gardens for a big farm-to-table community dinner, followed a cacao ceremony and music in our yoga shala as the sun sets and the moon rises.
A true experience of the vision, values, and vibes of Alegría Village!
Join us for the full-day, or just come for part of the day: morning yoga, afternoon hike + lunch, or dinner + cacao ceremony. Please reserve your ticket below!
We can’t wait to share a Sunday with you :)

DIRECTIONS
Alegría Village is located in the hills above the small town of San Mateo de Alajuela, about an hour west of San Jose. Our main entrance does not require a four-wheel drive, and you can drive in and park right next to our yoga shala.
If you are driving, please put “Acceso Norte Alegría Village ” into Google Maps. Unfortunately Google and Waze find two entrances for Alegría, which can be very confusing! Make sure your directions are leading you to the correct entrance, which is on the Maderal Road that originates in San Mateo:
If you don’t have a car, you can take the bus to either San Mateo or Orotina, and then take an inexpensive cab to the Acceso Norte Alegría Village. We can even call you a cab we know and trust so you won’t get lost!
Please send us an email at live@Alegriavillage.com if you have any questions! See you Sunday!
