A Tour of Yachana Lodge

Hello everyone!  We thought you may like a photo tour of the Yachana Lodge grounds... hope you enjoy!

Casa Quest - our lodging at Yachana!  The men, women, and staff each have their own room.  The bathrooms and showers are each individual separated and we even have a wash tub for clothes and a clothes line.

Casa Quest... our home away from home.
Our front yard patio, where we relax on the hammocks and have our nightly reflection. At night, we share the space with several bats... and many other forms of creatures of the night.

  2. These pictures are just what I needed as I sit at my desk in the middle of Michigan watching the snowflakes meander down to earth. You have warmed me up! I am a strong believer that the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose and it's obvious that your group is doing exactly that. Enjoy every second of your time there!
