‘CUCUYO’
a week full of experiences

Cucuyo (read: coocoojo) is a dominican word for a firefly bug. It comes from Taino’s (indigenous people of Hispaniola island) language in which “Cuyo” meant fire.

“Cucuyo” is an 8 days retreat packed with activities that can change your life. It’s an experience that will resonate with every element of your being: with your SOUL, your MIND and your BODY.

Classes of mindfulness, water sports and latino dancing are the base of every day of your journey to find your own ‘Cucuyo’. But there’s much more to it. Living on the beach in this paradise has a lot to offer.

Welcome to Las Terrenas one of the most beautiful locations of Dominican Republic.

Midjourney for Cucuyo

How do you like the gallery of graphics above? They are all designed especially for Cucuyo a Week Full of Experiences by Midjourney
Despite the fact that we have been operating in the water sports industry for several years, Cucuyo is our new project. We believe with all our heart that it will be something absolutely unique. However, unable to present photos from the retreats already held, in order to encourage you to participate in the first ones, we invited an exceptional artist to create works that tell about the activities in which you will have the opportunity to take part. We hope you love it as we do 🙂

AWAKE IN PARADISE

How many times have you promised yourself to try something new? To change your lifestyle for more sustainable? To understand and love yourself better? Today’s city life is very demanding. Society always expects you to be better, faster and ‘good vibes only’. But at the end of the day most of us feel like not living to the fullest.

‘CUCUYO’ is a unique experience created to reconnect you with the Nature and your own Elements. We know that to feel good and fulfilled your being must be in BALANCE.
‘Cucuyo’ is made to let you dream, experience and truly awake in paradise!
