A Sanctuary for Deep Healing in the Osa Peninsula

One-on-one plant dietas, guided by tradition

Templo del Tigre is the only plant medicine retreat center in Costa Rica offering traditional one-on-one master plant dietas with sacred tobacco (Mapacho), held in the Amazonian Mamancunawa lineage. 

Set beside Corcovado National Park in the wild beauty of the Osa Peninsula, our retreats weave together ancestral plant wisdom, guided ceremony, and holistic practices such as yoga, pranayama, and sound healing. 

Here, you are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and return to your true nature.
