What to Pack for Rythmia: Packing List, Diet & Travel Requirements
Arriving prepared makes all the difference. This page covers everything you need to know before you leave home, including: what to pack, what to eat in the days before you arrive, what the food is like at Rythmia, and how you’ll get here from the airport. Detailed written preparation guidelines are also sent directly once your booking is confirmed.
Packing
Pack light, comfortable clothing for warm weather:
- swimwear
- shorts
- t-shirts
- comfortable shoes
- a hat
For ceremonies, bring loose-fitting, non-restrictive clothing and a journal. Natural DEET-free insect repellent and sunscreen are recommended. Toiletries, a hair dryer, and laundry services are all available on site.
Leave alcohol, cannabis, and all non-prescribed recreational substances at home. Rythmia has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this. Every room comes with a safe, but we would suggest to avoid bringing excessive jewelry or valuables.
Diet & Food
Follow a clean dieta for at least one week before arrival. Avoid: red meat, pork, alcohol, fermented foods, aged cheeses, overripe fruit, and caffeine. Eat: fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, eggs, chicken, and plant-based proteins. This protocol prepares the body energetically and physically for plant medicine. Full written guidelines are sent on booking confirmation.
Rythmia's skilled kitchen prepares three organic, farm-to-table meals daily following the plant medicine dieta protocol. Meals are primarily plant-based with some clean proteins, and macro options. Vegetarian, vegan, and common dietary allergies are all accommodated. However, please declare any allergies or requirements during your medical screening and booking intake.
Travel & Logistics
Fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR) in Guanacaste, which is approximately 1 hour from Rythmia. San José (SJO) is a 4–5 hour drive and not recommended, because we are unable to accommodate transportation. Rythmia's shuttle service transfers guests directly from LIR to the resort; this is included when you pay in full at booking. Your shuttle will be confirmed when you provide our team with your flight’s arrival and departure information.
