Soltara does not require any vaccines to join us on retreat. However, if you happen to be arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever, the Costa Rican government requires proof of yellow fever vaccination. Check this page to see if you may be required to get the yellow fever vaccine.
Soltara has less mosquitoes than most jungle locations due to the breeze coming off of the Gulf of Nicoya or through the mountains, but nevertheless, please bring natural bug spray to avoid bites from mosquitoes that may in very rare cases be carrying malaria. If you anticipate participating in the Ayahuasca ceremonies, please avoid taking antimalarial medication for the retreat.
