Do I need travel insurance?
International Yoga strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance. A personal, political, environmental, health, or weather-related incident may arise that can prevent or interrupt your travels. If you do not purchase travel insurance you will be assuming 100% of any costs associated with the cancellation/ interruption of your retreat. While we cannot advise on specific travel insurance policies, we recommend looking at plans through the reputable travel insurance provider, Travelex. The FAQ section at the bottom of their website is quite helpful, and they have a number you can call as well. Note that to guarantee maximum coverage, most travel insurance providers require that you obtain a policy within 10 - 15 days of placing your initial deposit.
What are the accommodations like?
Cucumbi is a serene retreat in Alentejo, Portugal, offering a range of accommodations named after local animals, such as Cottage Phuka and Suite Tchombo. The farm emphasizes a harmonious connection with nature, providing a peaceful environment enriched by biodiversity. Guests can enjoy various activities, including swimming in the saltwater pool, walking along the trails, cycling, and participating in farm life. Cucumbi combines rustic charm with modern comforts, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and nature appreciation.
Do I need vaccinations?
There are no required vaccinations for travel to Portugal. However, there are some recommended (suggested) vaccinations given by the CDC. To see the complete list of what is recommended, please visit the CDC Website and consult with your primary care physician to make a decision on what is best for you.
What if I am traveling alone?
We get hundreds of travelers each year who go on retreat alone. If you are traveling without a friend or partner, but prefer to share your room, we will do our best to match you with another traveler of the same gender. If for some reason, we are not able to match you with a roommate, a single supplement will apply.
If you prefer to have your own private room, a single supplement will apply.
