Here is the planned itinerary (subject to days changed due to weather or similiar)

January 14: Arrival  day! Into the Wild will set up your transport from the airport if you arrive on this day and not an earlier day. You’ll want to arrive after noon but by 4pm if possible, so you can have time to check in at Sayulinda Hotel and relax before our sunset walk on Playa Sayulita. Welcome dinner at 6:30pm.

January 15: Today we will start the day with a yoga class at a local yoga studio—perfect for a peaceful stretch. (This class is completely optional). We will have breakfast at about 9 am. 

Head to the beach to relax at Playa Sayulita or rent beach chairs and enjoy a lazy day. OR if you are more included to try a beginner lesson, it’s included in the price of this retreat. It’s really fun, even if it’s your first time. We will have lunch at Barracuda on the beach. After the beach you can head back to the hotel for a nap or poolside lounging until our sunset dinner . 

January 16: We will start our day by enjoying chilaquiles or a breakfast burrito at ChocoBanana. Today we will take a day trip to San Pancho, a close beach town with a quieter, artsy vibe. Walk the beach, explore the galleries, and enjoy the slow-paced atmosphere. We will have lunch in San Pancho, and upon returning to Sayulita, we can stop by the local market. For dinner tonight we are going to do a cooking class, sure to be a lot of fun! 

 January 17: Today we will start the day with fresh pastries and coffee at Yah-Yah Café. You can opt to join in on an ATV ride through jungle trails, or have a nice day in town. Whichever you choose- it’s going to be great day! We will have lunch when the ATV’ers get back, followed by pool time or free time. We will take a short Taxi ride to Playa Carricitos, a perfect beach for walking at sunset. Then, taxi back for dinner.

January 18: Breakfast, then we will enjoy an (optional) easy hike and yoga experience to the jungle/beach. People love this activity but you can always opt to stay back and have free time. Upon our return to Sayulita, we will enjoy El Itacate for lunch (think: delicious tacos). After lunch will be a couple hours of free time to do as you please, and then we will walk over to the quieter Playa de los Muertos. For dinner we will go for a casual but delicious meal.

January 19: Today we all head home! Try to get a flight that leaves between 9 am and 2pm (though you can leave whenever- but we will need to check out of the hotel at 11, and you’ll need to self- entertain after that.) For breakfast, let’s enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach and grab coffee and a bite at Organi-K. You may have time for last-minute shopping to pick up souvenirs like Huichol beadwork or beachy jewelry from the local market stalls. Rides back to the airport are provided by Into the Wild if you leave on this day.
