Facilities at Gaia Sagrada

Hot Showers

We have hot showers 24/7. We like our comforts and we know you do too! You can take a hot shower any time of the day or night. We don’t have you bathe in the creek or take cold showers like some centers do. We know what’s important!

Comfortable Beds

We know how important a good nights sleep is too. We have the best mattresses that can be bought in Ecuador. No foam rubber mat on a piece of plywood like some centers do. These are the full size, thick mattresses you would expect in any luxury hotel room. Enjoy your dreams!

Awesome Food – Unlimited

They rave about our food in the reviews, and you’ll see why! We make the Ayahuasca diet taste so delicious you won’t know you’re on the Ayahuasca diet! It’s a very alkaline, healthy, and yummy smorgasbord every meal. You can take as much as you want and come back for seconds too. We don’t limit you. We also have snacks in the community center all the time where you can help yourself to tea, juices, fruit, crackers, make a sandwich, toast, and enjoy some of the other yummy treats we put in the fridge for you there. You’ll never be hungry.

Community Center

In the community center you can use the yoga room, check your emails, sit on a couch by the woodstove, watch the fire, and be at ease. The community center is surrounded by gardens and patios and you can always make a cup of tea.

Dining Area

Enjoy outdoor or indoor dining, whichever you prefer. We have beautiful patios, and wonderful indoor areas for you to hang out in. You can even sit in the garden if you want. There is enough space that you can sit by yourself or with the group, whichever you prefer. Lots of great conversation happens here, and we have probably solved a world problem or two at these tables. Great friendships are made over meals.

Library

We have a small library of books you’re welcome to borrow and read during your stay. All we ask is that you return the books in good shape before you leave.

Music Room

You’re welcome to pick up a guitar, drum, digeridoo, or any of the other myriad of instruments we keep in the community center. Lots of spontaneous jams and singalongs break out in and near the music room, or take the instruments out on the patio and have a good time! Share your music with us if you have some songs you would like to sing.

Sauna

We have a hot sauna available for your health and rejuvenation endeavors. It is on for certain hours of the day, specifically during free time in the afternoons and evenings. Sit in the sauna for a while, then take a cool dip, very good for your health!

Hot Tubs

Enjoy a relaxed half hour or so in the hot tubs surrounded by nature any time you want. Loosen up your muscles before a massage. Have a conversation with new friends in soothing water and enjoy the spa experience we offer. There is a nice cold dip next to the hot tubs too if you want to really invigorate yourself (for all you Wim Hof Method fans out there!)

Campfires At Night

We almost always have a campfire at night after dinner where many conversations and silliness happen as well! Enjoy the stars and the moon and the many fireflies always lighting up the landscape at night.

Hiking

There are many trails on the property, as well as on the dirt roads in the community around us. One could enjoy long walks in forests, fields, and country roads. The views in every direction are amazing and it is always lush and green in Ecuador. There is never snow and there is never dry heat, just green! Perhaps that’s why Ecuador is so healing.

Meditation & Hammock Spots

There are many areas to gaze at the scenery of Gaia Sagrada. There are benches and sitting areas everywhere. Just go on the trails and take a walk, you will find them.  We have hammocks everywhere!

Campfires

These happen all the time at Gaia Sagrada! People bring their guitars and instruments, sing, or just enjoy conversation by the fire. It changes with different groups of people as to what is going on at the campfire. Bring your guitar or other instruments if you want to have some campfire fun.

Internet

Bring your laptop for fiber optic wifi access in the community center area. If you need to transfer documents from your laptop to a computer in city, we suggest you bring a flash drive with you. For a lot more information about internet and internet speeds, please see our Internet Facilities page.

Laundry Service

We provide a laundry service at $5/load for wash, dry, and fold.
