The TL RetreatThe TL method of training (which stands for our Coach, Tara LaFerrara) encompasses movement, mindfulness and a sense of adventure. On the TL Retreat, you'll join a group of like-minded women in a beautiful destination where we can find inner peace, beauty and love of movement through a community of empowerment.
We're kicking things off in Cartagena, where the mix of modern and historical holds a unique charm. We'll explore the culinary, historic and cultural sides of the city while getting in our workouts! Then we're heading north along the Caribbean coast to Santa Marta. We'll soak up the sun and spend time in the one and only Tayrona National Park, the ideal hiking spot with the most beautiful beaches around! Fitness: With Tara’s background, she’ll be able to get you from a Sun A to a plyo squat jump. She will make sure that all levels feel comfortable in their space with yoga, meditation, and mindful bodyweight movements. Adventure: We've got a week of unique local adventures and VIP experiences planned for you! In Cartagena, some of the highlights will be exploring the walled city, going salsa dancing and spending a day island hopping on our own boat through the Rosario Islands. In Santa Marta, we will hike through Tayrona National Natural Park, go horseback riding and explore the local cuisine! (All activities are optional). Relaxation: With all the excitement and activities planned, there will also be plenty of free time to relax and chill. We will have beach days, free time to explore, try out some additional excursions or restaurants, or simply relax at our beautiful hotels. |

The Accommodations
Throughout our stay in Colombia, we will find comfortable accommodations at boutique properties with local charm and modern luxurious amenities. In Cartagena, we will find unique and luxurious accommodations for three nights at Hotel Capellan, a boutique hotel in the heart of the popular Getsemani neighborhood. Walking down the cobblestone streets, you'd never expect this majestic property to exist! The hotel is in a great area for shopping and dining, and it is also steps away from the Walled City / Old City full of history and additional restaurants, bars and excitement.
In Santa Marta, we are staying three nights at the luxurious Cayena Beach Villa right on the beach complete with an incredible pool and covered fitness area. We will have a professional chef preparing breakfasts and dinners on site to enjoy while viewing the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the background.
