San Juan del Sur, NicaraguaTreecasa is an eco-luxe resort nestled in 450 acres of rainforest reserve, surrounded by untouched wilderness and the pristine Pacific coast of Nicaragua.
The entire Treecasa campus is your playground to explore, unwind, revitalize and rediscover your true nature. Here you will find 20 miles of hiking and biking trails, magnificent gardens, a pond, multi-tiered pool with a waterslide, a farm-to-table restaurant, and spiraling staircases that lead you to treehouse lounges perched in the sky.
Luxurious cabins are purposely built amongst the trees and in harmony with nature. High-quality designer rooms accommodate 1-3 people, depending on the room type and layout. Preferred rooms will be allocated to early-bird registrants.
This breathtaking eco sanctuary and retreat haven is designed to forge new possibilities, restore awe and cultivate a profound awakening within.

Travel info for Nicaragua
Traveling during Covid times adds a few extra steps to your travel preparations but luckily traveling to Nicaragua is quite simple. Nicaragua has been and still is one of the countries with the least travel restrictions and requirements to date.
What is needed to enter Nicaragua:
- A proof of a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours from the moment you land in Nicaragua;
- Filling out an airline specific Entry and Exit Form (please contact your airline for the details).
When planning your trip, do also consider Covid requirements of your transfer countries (e.g. USA requires proof of vaccination for all transfers).
If you need a PCR test for your journey back (please check with your airline), then we strongly advise that you leave at least 2-3 days extra as a buffer between the last day of the course and your final flight out of Nicaragua. This gives you enough time to take a PCR test in Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua, and receive your results before your departing flight.
Please know that we do not have the possibility to be fully informed of the travel and transfer requirements of all the countries of the world. Your travel arrangements are foremost your responsibility. In saying that, we will be supporting all course participants with additional information after your course booking.
