Before You Book
Before reserving a retreat, our guests often want to understand what makes RAFA unique, how we differ from a typical vacation, and what kind of experience they can truly expect. These are the questions we hear most often from thoughtful travelers like you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes RAFA different from other retreats in Ecuador?
RAFA was created for travelers who value privacy, peace, and genuine connection with nature. We simplify every detail, from communication to logistics, so you can focus entirely on rest, reflection, and discovery.
Will I be able to communicate easily in English throughout my stay?
Yes. From your first inquiry to your airport pickup, every part of your experience — booking, transportation, adventures, and daily communication — is supported by English-speaking staff. This ensures comfort, safety, and peace of mind at every step, so you can simply relax and enjoy the journey.
Is this a wellness or adventure retreat?
It’s both! But never forced. Each guest sets their own rhythm. Whether that means quiet mornings with fresh coffee and a book, exploring rivers and local culture, or taking part in our curated adventures, RAFA adapts to your pace.
Who typically comes to RAFA?
Our guests are often professionals, entrepreneurs, and couples seeking clarity and calm — people who appreciate comfort, authenticity, and meaningful experiences over crowds and schedules.
Can you accommodate special dietary needs or preferences?
Absolutely. Our kitchens use fresh, local ingredients and are happy to accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, or other preferences with advance notice.
How private is the experience?
RAFA hosts only a few guests at a time, ensuring quiet surroundings and personal attention. You’ll have space to breathe, both physically and mentally.
What kind of connection should I expect with local culture?
We partner directly with nearby Kichwa communities to create genuine cultural experiences through music, traditional dance, local artwork, and regional cuisine. Guests are invited to engage with these moments naturally, not as performances, but as opportunities to share and learn. Every encounter is designed to honor the people, history, and spirit of this region while giving you an authentic sense of Ecuador’s living culture.
