Travel Insurance:
We recommend that international retreat participants take out travel insurance in case of any life situation that may alter your plans. You may consider plans from travelinsure.com, insuremytrip.com, or any other option provided by your credit card, airline or travel company. Also, note that your health insurance may not provide coverage internationally. Check with your provider and consider additional coverage if necessary.

Do I need a Visa to travel to Portugal?
No, US citizens are not required to get a Visa to visit Portugal. You will be given a Visa upon arrival valid for 90 days.

What airport do I fly into?
You will book your international ticket into and out of Faro (airport code: FAO) or out of Lisbon (airport code: LIS).

Are airport transfers included?
Airport transfers are not included. Travel time is approximately 1 ½ hour drive from Faro Airport and the cost is 100 euros one way. We highly recommend coordinating arrival times and sharing a taxi. Travel time is approximately a 3-hour drive from Lisbon Airport. Monte Velho will help organize taxi transfers to and from the airport. More information on this will be provided closer to the retreat date. You may also want to look into renting a car for the week.

Are gratuities included?
Gratuities are not included in the price of the program. We recommend $5-$10/day per person as a tip to be given at the end of your stay and shared amongst the staff. Tipping is not obligatory but is greatly appreciated especially when receiving great service.

Is there a town within walking distance?
Carrapateira, about 2.5 miles from Monte Velho, is the closest village and has some restaurants, small shops, and two stunning beaches. You can walk, share a taxi, or bike. Bikes can be rented in Carrapateira with Karra Surf Shop.

The two beaches at Carrapateira are Amado and Bordeira, both of which are around 2 miles from our retreat center. It’s around a 1:15 hour walk or a 6-minute drive by car or taxi.

Are meals included?
Three delicious vegetarian/vegan meals are included daily. Special dietary requests can be accommodated.

Can I get a massage?
